Pittsburgh's Lost Time Capsule

Pittsburgh’s got a century-old time capsule hidden somewhere in its City-County Building—sealed in 1916 by Mayor Joseph Armstrong with newspapers, a Bible, and city and U.S. flags. Now, as the nation gears up for its semiquincentennial, city officials are on a treasure hunt to find it, scouring old records to pinpoint its location in the massive 10-story building. If found, retrieving it could cost millions and involve relocating surrounding structures. The mayor joked he hopes a $40 million budget is available. If they succeed, the contents may be preserved or added to a new time capsule for the nation’s 250th birthday—turning a historical mystery into a bridge between past and future.
