Description

A view of Pittsburgh's Luna Park taken around 1908 showing the "Canals of Venice" attraction. The park, located in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood, existed from 1905 to 1909. Created by Frank Ingersoll, the park was located at the corner of Atlantic Avenue, now Baum Boulevard, and North Craig Street. A large section of Melwood Street as it exists today would have been under the park.
