H istory Center 25

Problems in the Hill No historic preservation places in the Hill No place to learn about and share in History of Hill No home for Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society 26

Business Model Partnership with a pre-existing organization Duquesne Public History Graduate Program Carnegie Library Hill District Branch Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society Heinz History Center 27

Solutions Place to store artifacts for people in the Hill Place for people to share stories about their personal history and history of the Hill Place where members of the community can take things which have historical significance to be sorted and properly taken care of 28 Jane Adams Historic Hill House Chelsea Hotel

Positioning There are no organizations that specifically deal with the history of the Hill Carnegie Library of Hill District does not have the ability to store or display the items that they receive The house would give them a place to display the relevant items they receive The August Wilson house will be the only Hill District- specific history center in the area. 29
