Lunch counter at the Centre Avenue YMCA, with Courier photographer Walter Allen seated
The Centre Avenue YMCA is located at Centre and Francis Street in the Hill District. A waitress brings a glass of water to one of the patrons at the lunch counter. Men, women and a small boy are present. Two women watch the scene through a narrow window in the back wall. Walter Allen, possibly the man at left reading a paper, had begun working for the Pittsburgh Courier as a clerk by 1941. However, style of dress and decor suggest a date in the 1950s. | Creator: Harris, Charles Teenie | Date: c. 1950-1960 | Source:
