Summary[edit]

Description
English: This 19th-century log cabin located on Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, under Cathedral of Learning symbolizes the University of Pittsburgh’s original log cabin home. This particular cabin, from Yatesborough, PA, was purchased at an auction for $1,000 by Charles Fagan III, who donated it to the University because his wife graduated from the University. It was transported to Pittsburgh in 1986 to commemorate the University’s approaching bicentennial.
Français : Une cabane en rondins du XIXe siècle symbolisant les origines humbles de l'Université de Pittsburgh. Cette cabane se trouve sur Forbes Avenue, en dessous de la Cathedral of Learning. Elle a été construite à Yatesborough, en Pennstylvanie, puis achetée aux enchères pour 1000$ par Charles Fagan III, qui en a fait la donation à l'Université. Elle a été transportée vers son emplacement actuel en 1986 pour préparer la commémoration du bicentenaire de l'université en 1987.
