A great history of the old Syria Mosque that previously stood in Oakland

Located between Bigelow Boulevard and Lytton Avenue, the Syria Mosque was designed by Huel, Schmidt, & Holmes. It was dedicated on October 26, 1916, and demolition began on August 27, 1991. The Syria Mosque was home to the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Pittsburgh Opera, and served as a popular venue for concerts, artistic programs, and graduation ceremonies. It is now a sad parking lot...

On Jan 11, 1949, the Syria Mosque was most importantly (and widely overlooked) as the location of the very FIRST live nationally Televised broadcast in HISTORY. The launch of DuMont-owned WDTV, which later became KDKA-TV, marked a technical milestone for the TV industry. Pittsburgh's new station was linked via coaxial cable to 13 other cities from Boston to St. Louis.

From Pink Floyd to Rachmaninoff, Eric Clapton to Jascha Heifetz, Buddy Holly to the Bangles, Duke Ellington to the Who, John F. Kennedy to Malcolm X. These are just some of the people who once graced the stage during its 75 year history.

We recently came across all of the original General Contractor's correspondence and paperwork from the construction and outfitting of the former Masonic Temple in Oakland, now the University of Pittsburgh Alumni building. Below is an original, handwritten estimate dated February 1915 from PPG for custom mirrors for that building.

Our museum collection database project is moving along well, but it is the surprise finds that are really fun. Today we found an 1819 handwritten copy of the bylaws from Greyabbey Lodge 183 in Northern Ireland. Lodge 183 is still active and meets in Kircubbin, Northern Ireland.
