Fort Black
Fort Black was a fort built in the Greenfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1863, during the Civil War.
It was located on Bigelow Street between Parade and Shields streets, and had cannons facing the Point, and trenches to protect soldiers.
The fort was one of the most massive of the 27 built at the time to defend Pittsburgh from the Confederates, and like the other forts, was built of mounds of dirt.
A powder magazine was also built nearby, on Beechwood Boulevard.
It remained standing until its demolition in 1928.
