Anyone Have Memorabilia Room Pictures to Share?

Here's a new set up for my Forbes window and seats. Pirates uniforms as well.

Wow! I'd like to see a bigger picture of that. My daughter just started at Pitt, and I learned that Posvar Hall and Schenley Plaza now stand where Forbes Field used to stand. In the hallway of Posvar Hall they have a homeplate plaque in the floor of the hall in the same spot as the original Forbes Field home plate.

These should be some larger pics of the window. Also Forbes Field concrete facade

Epic doesn't begin to describe it. I would put a great deal of thought into the best way to mount and present the pieces in a secure/beautiful way. It's warranted

AWESOME! My only thought would be to rip out your existing window and replace with a half round, matching your Forbes window. Easy enough!

I tried having the concrete and window built into an inner wall but my builder wouldn't do it because of potential liability!

Build a faux wall that is simply 6 in smaller than the wall u wanted to build structurally and place the faux wall up against the permanent existing wall.

A window from Forbes Field????!!!! That was torn down nearly 50 years ago, can you tell us the story about how you obtained it?

The story behind the window is that approx. 10 of these were removed when they tore down Forbes Field and place in the bar at the Allegheny Club at Three Rivers Stadium. They were then moved and placed into storage when they tore down Three Rivers in 2000. These surfaced in Hunt Auctions All Star Game auction in 2006. I flew from St. Louis to Pittsburgh for that auction with the intent on buying a window as well as the row of 1909 seats in front of it. I had already reserved a Uhaul one way rental for the return drive to St. Louis.

Of the 10 surviving windows, six had the original glass and 4 had replacement glass (mine is original). I know one is on display at the National Baseball Park Museum in Denver and I'm assuming all the others are in private collections.

Thanks. I probably have that Hunts catalog laying around somewhere. It looks awesome how you have it displayed.
