Photo Antiquities is proud to announce that we have secured a new home, the Allegheny Social Hall on 810-812 Concord Street on Pittsburgh's Historic North Side. Our new building will increase our floor space from 3,000 sq. ft to 30,000 sq. ft. In addition to providing state of the art exhibit and archival space, we will also be adding a theatre for group presentations, classrooms, darkrooms and a research library.

We offer the region's finest display of vintage photographs, photographic viewing devices, and antique cameras. Designed in the Victorian style, Photo Antiquities preserves and exhibits the history of photography from 1839 to 1939. Examples of our collections include The Civil War, Native Americans, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, the United States, Asia, and Europe.

We hope you become a new friend of ours and we look forward to meeting you. Remember, together we can continue to build a visionary organization dedicated to the history of photography for the purpose of preserving the past, while educating present and future generations.

Sincerely,

The Staff at Photo Antiquities
