Buy a Bottle, Support PGC & Block HousePittsburgh Glass Center has partnered with the Fort Pitt Block House, located at Point State Park, to produce and sell a commemorative bottle that celebrates the historical connection between the Fort Pitt Block House and Pittsburgh-s early glass industry. For over a century, the Pittsburgh region was the center of production and marketing for America-s glass industry. The O'Hara Glass Works which opened in 1797 by General James O'Hara and Major Isaac Craig was the first of the pioneer glass-houses in the Allegheny region. Situated just opposite the Point in Pittsburgh at the current location of the Carson Street Station of the Duquesne Incline, the glass works produced dark green and black porter bottles which supplied one of O-Hara-s other investments, the Point Brewery. The blown glass replica bottle bears the concave punty mark and the asymmetrical wrap around the lip of a classic O-Hara & Craig porter bottle but with a modern flair of black and gold - the official colors of the City of Pittsburgh. Together, Pittsburgh Glass Center and Fort Pitt Block House are bridging the gap between Pittsburgh-s history as a major producer in glass to its creative future through the innovative use of glass art. Proceeds from the sale of the bottle support the Fort Pitt Block House and Pittsburgh Glass Center. Cost: $50. For more details or to order a bottle, call Fort Pitt Block House Curator Kelly Linn at 412-471-1764.
