It retains common Georgia urban house types, corner stores, churches and schools. The form notes that urban renewal programs had little impact on the area. The Section 8 statement and the criteria boxes were not included in the supplied text.","narrative":"Pittsburgh is a historic African-American neighborhood of roughly 324 acres southwest of downtown Atlanta. Its streets follow a gridiron plan, and its location was set by the railroad lines rebuilt after the Civil War. Rail yard jobs drew residents, and the area filled with small houses built from the 1880s to 1956, including shotguns, double shotguns, Georgian and gabled-ell cottages, bungalows and post-war small houses. Folk Victorian, Craftsman and English Vernacular Revival details appear throughout. Lots are narrow, with houses set close to the street. Two-story brick stores, frame corner groceries, a gas station and several churches serve as community landmarks. The 1922 William H. Crogman School and the Salvation Army College for Officer Training, formerly the Atlanta Theological Seminary, are also within the boundary. The neighborhood was listed as a district with 792 contributing and 436 noncontributing buildings. Its intact historic fabric and limited disruption from urban renewal are central to its recognition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"A.
