Summary[edit]

Description One of dozens of examples of exemplary public art and architecture, some old, some new, in the venerable "Steel City" of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is "Industry," one of several murals painted by Vincent Nesbert inside the Allegheny County Courthouse from 1934 to 1938 on commission from the Federal Works Progress Administration's arts project during the Great Depression. When funding fell through for the commission, Nesbert painted the murals anyway, for the love of the work. Money was later found to pay him
