The Citizen's Committee was organized to produce the Pittsburgh Plan for infrastructure including playgrounds, major streets, Parks, Public Transit, Railroads, and Waterways. Some of the cities most accomplished and influential citizens volunteered to serve on the various committees from 1920 thru 1924. Prominent citizens included: Richard and Andrew Mellon, Charles Armstrong, Henry Buhl Jr., Edgar, Issac & Oliver Kaufmann, Roy A. Hunt, George Davison along with many leading Pittsburgh companies. They all paid an annual subscription (dues) to fund the activities of the Citizen's Committee. Brady Stewart provided photographic services for the committee.<br />
