It was the site of Fort Duquesne (French, 1754) and Fort Pitt (British, 1758). This 1968 photo is geotagged.Fort Duquesne Bridge, the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," is visible behind the Manchester Bridge. It has its approach roads on the far side of the Allegheny River still under construction. It was featured in another photo in this set.
