Photography: Statue of Mayor Richard Caliguiri

Located at The City County Building. Richard S. Caliguiri (October 20, 1931 – May 6, 1988). Statue created by sculpter Robert Berks.

“Caliguiri officially won the mayor's office in an election later in 1977, and was reelected twice, serving until his death in 1988. Under Caliguiri's leadership, Pittsburgh began its "Renaissance II" plan, an urban renewal and revitalization plan based on the "Renaissance" plan of former mayor and governor David L. Lawrence. The plan was generally considered a success (especially with the city's skyline) but was hampered by a sharp and permanent downturn in the city's economy and resulting population shifts.” (Wikipedia)
