Interior Views of the Heinz Ocean Pier, circa 1915
01
Artifact Overview
The Heinz Ocean Pier, opened 1898, was the H.J. Heinz Company's costliest and most ambitious venture. Open year-round, the Pier included product displays, free samples, slide lectures of the company's Pittsburgh complex, an impressive art collection, and free pickle pins. This drawing, likely used for advertising, depicts an interior view of the Ocean Pier. A hurricane destroyed the building in 1944.
