The photographer looks west on Fifth Ave across Smithfield, possibly in the 1920s. Presumably, Smithfield is already a one-way street; that conversion happened very early.

The photographer looks west on Fifth Ave across Smithfield, possibly in the 1920s. Presumably, Smithfield is already a one-way street; that conversion happened very early.

That is Kaufmann's clock on the left, a good meeting place for friends in downtown Pittsburgh. It is still functional in 2014!
