Chris Litherland Photography - This is the historic 1903 First Presbyterian Church and 1872 Trinity Cathedral in downtown Pittsburgh. The First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh (building on right side of photo) is one of the oldest Protestant entities west of the Allegheny Mountains. Roots of Presbyterianism in Pittsburgh go back to 1758 when the British defeated the French at Fort Duquesne at the point of Pittsburgh's three rivers. Upon this defeat, the name was changed to Fort Pitt, later to become Pittsburg. In thanksgiving to God, a small group of Presbyterians gathered with a young Presbyterian minister, Charles Beatty (Chaplain to General Forbes), for a service of praise. This group of Presbyterians continued meeting together in residents' homes, and on April 14, 1773 their first call for a minister was delivered to Donegal Presbytery. Two young men, David McClure and Levi Frisbie, were supplied to serve the area and, thus, the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh was born. In 1903, the cornerstone was laid for the present building (the fourth at this site), which was dedicated on Palm Sunday, April 16
