The Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) is a non-profit organization founded in 1964 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Its mission is to preserve and promote the city's architectural heritage and historic landmarks. The foundation's work is centered on four key areas: preservation, education, advocacy, and community engagement.

PHLF's preservation efforts include the restoration and rehabilitation of historic buildings, as well as the creation of historic districts and landmarks. The foundation also provides technical assistance and advice to property owners seeking to preserve their historic buildings.

PHLF's education programs include tours of historic sites and buildings, as well as lectures and workshops on historic preservation and architecture. The foundation also publishes a quarterly magazine, Historic Pittsburgh, which features articles on local history and architecture.

PHLF has been a strong advocate for historic preservation at the local, state, and national levels. The foundation has played a key role in the creation of historic preservation legislation and has worked to ensure that preservation is taken into account in urban planning and development.

Finally, PHLF engages with the community through a variety of programs and events, including walking tours, lectures, and a summer camp program for children. The foundation also operates several historic sites, including the Landmarks Preservation Resource Center and the Allegheny Cemetery Soldiers Memorial.

GAP: Red Waterfall in 2024 Demonstrating acid mine drainage The water here is acid and iron-rich, coming up to the surface from underground mines, staining the rocks rust-red. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major source of water pollution and the cause of the extensive stream degradation and environmental damage. Where did this mine water come from? The Ocean Coal Company, a subsidiary of Berwind-White Coal Company of Philadelphia, PA established several mines in this region including in 1900, Ocean No. 2. It is purported that drainage from Ocean No. 2 is the chief cause of the Red Waterfall. Why is it acidic and full of iron? Hundreds of millions of years ago, the massive Pittsburgh Coal Seam formed underneath parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio from ancient swamp plants. Sand, silts, shells, and other matter were deposited and made a rock seal over the carbon rich vegetation. This rock contained the mineral "pyrite", made of iron and sulfur. Cola mining exposes pyrite to oxygen and ground water causing the formation of sulfuric acid and a number of red, orange, and yellow compounds. AMD occurs when this mine water seeps, or in this sea, bursts out into streams. The yellow sulfur can be seen in the shale near coal seams.
