Demolished Urban Apartment
2345 Northern State Boulevard
Bulldozers have ravaged 2345 Northern State Boulevard, Alan Tatum's childhood apartment in Pittsburgh's unyielding grid, reducing modest walls to rubble-strewn earth. Here, a nine-year-old Alan scrawled his letter to FDR amid cramped rooms thick with railroad dreams and innocent hope, the air heavy with pencil shavings and faint coal dust. Demolition unearths this hidden relic, dust swirling like ghosts of wonder as the site pulses with unearthed history amid the city's grinding rebirth.
