The second volume in our Modern Landscapes series examines the evolution of Pittsburgh's first modern garden plaza. Completed in 1955 from a design by the acclaimed landscape design firm Simonds & Simonds and architects Mitchell & Ritchey, Mellon Square functioned as an urban oasis that provided downtown office workers a much-needed respite from the city's infamous smoke pollution. Now, more than six decades later, Mellon Square is undergoing a major restoration by Patricia O'Donnell of Heritage Landscapes that aims to restore this urban garden and help revitalize downtown Pittsburgh. Featuring new photography and archival material, Mellon Square is the only book to showcase the development of this iconic urban landscape.

Jacob Meyers (fl. 1738-1739) was probably a Palatinate immigrant from Germany to Philadelphia in 1738, and settled at Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where a son (John) was born in 1739. John Meyerd (1807-1865) was a direct descendant of Jacob in the fourth generation. He married Deborah Flick in 1830, and they moved from Pennsylvania to Verona, Wisconsin, probably making the move in the 1840s. Descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, New England, Indiana, Florida, North Dakota and chiefly in Wisconsin.
