More about Bessemer Court at Station Square

In the Mount Washington district on the north bank of the Monongahela River, between Smithfield Street Bridge and Fort Pitt Station Square Bridge, is Station Square, once occupied by railway yards but now an elegant shopping centre. Near Smithfield Bridge is the Bessemer Court open-air museum, which is devoted to the city's industrial history and includes among the exhibits a 10-ton Bessemer steel hammer of 1930.
At the heart of Station Square, next to the river, sits the Fountain at Bessemer Court. This state-of-the-art Waltzing Waters® Liquid Fireworks® Show features hundreds of multi-colored water jets soaring up to 40 feet in the air, choreographed to music. The Fountain at Bessemer Court is a tourist and Pittsburgher must-see operating late-April through the Friday before Thanksgiving each year. Fountain shows begin at 9am and end at midnight daily. Shows begin at the top of the hour, twenty after and twenty till.
A riverside walk along the southern end of the Smithfield Street Bridge will yield a 10-ton Bessemer converter (from 1930), a 25-ton ingot mold, the sternwheel of the Jason (a 1940 steam-powered towboat) and other relics from Pittsburgh's industrial past.
