Historical NotesA side table from the Marshall mansion, which is located on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Shady Avenue in the East End of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Historic photos show that the table was once located in a hallway of the house. The mansion was built by Charles D. Marshall, president and co-owner of the McClintic-Marshall Construction Company, which later became Bethlehem Steel. Completed in 1912, the Marshall mansion was an impressive formal 17th-Century Carolean-inspired building. In 1943, Charles Marshall donated his house to the city of Pittsburgh. The Marshall mansion became the Arts and Crafts Center of Pittsburgh in 1945. In 1980, the name was again changed to what is now known as the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.
