EVENT SPACES
Rivers of Steel is home to several unique local attractions, including the Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark, the historic Pump House at the Waterfront, and the Bost Building National Historic Landmark. Each of these spaces offers opportunities for private clients to host custom events at venues with authentic character—locations that highlight the artistry and innovation of this region’s rich industrial and cultural heritage.
CARRIE BLAST FURNACES
QUICK LOOK AT CARRIE
A National Historic Landmark in the Monongahela River Valley
The Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark is a space that is uniquely Pittsburgh. A vestige of Pittsburgh’s 20th-century domination of the steel industry, it also reflects the Pittsburgh of today—a dynamic place that is made stronger by its diversity of its assets.
The Pump House
QUICK LOOK AT THE PUMP HOUSE
Immerse yourself in Pittsburgh’s industrial heritage.
Situated just across the Monongahela River from the Carrie Blast Furnaces, the historic Pump House at the Waterfront was once part of the U.S. Steel Homestead Works. Featuring exposed-brick walls and wooden plank floorboards, the interior feels less like the industrial relic it is and more like a step back in time.
THE BOST BUILDING
QUICK LOOK AT THE BOST BUILDING
A National Historic Landmark in Homestead
Serving as the Visitors’ Center for the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area, this National Historic Landmark offers exhibits on the region’s industrial and cultural heritage. Its third-floor gallery space is available for cocktail-style receptions and its board room is available as a meeting space.
