In 1859 horse cars appeared lat Pittsburgh, traveling at a speed of live miles an hour. On June 4, 1862 Horne's ac quired a similar three-story building next door.

Albert Pressley Burchfield joined the company as another partner to handle the wholesale business. DELIVERY SERVICE 1 Store delivery service started In 1865 when Robert Tocas, a former slave, was employed. He retired from the store in 1919 at the age of 86. 1 The population of Pittsburgh soared to 86,000 at this period when East Liberty, Oakland and Lawrenceville were annexed. And in 1865, Pittsburgh discarded the custom of calling the hours.

On Jan. 24, 1871, the retail division moved to Library Hall on Penn Ave.the present site of Hotel Roosevelt parking lot. Mercy Hospital had occupied this building when it opened in 1847. also housed the Thaw Library, and the famed Bijou Theater was i reached through one of its en- trances.

Horne's had disposed of its wholesale store in 1892. This was the area of Pittsburgh's construction, including use of electric cars, Andrew Carnegie's $1,000,000 gift for a building in Scheley Park, construction of the Smithfield St. Post Office, building of Highland Park Zoo and the round-the-world trip of Pittsburgh's Nellie Bly in 72 days and Mx hours. Home's was rebuilt in 1899, but another ere in 1900 forced them out of business for a month. In 1903 the East Bldg.

was finished, extending Home's from Stanwix St to Cecil Way on Penn Ave. In 1907, a flood threatened Home's building. However, water was from entering the building. This was the era of the motor delivery trucks. Pittsburgh was building the Wabash Bridge, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial, Carnegie Institute of Technology, new buildings at the University of Pittsburgh, Allegheny Observatory and Forbes Field in this decade.

BUILDING ADDED-In 1923, the North Bldg. was added to the store. It extended the store to Duquesne Way along Stanwix St, giving Home's approximately 16 acres of selling space. In 1928, the service warehouse at Allegheny, Galveston and Shore North Side, was opened. The St Patrick's Day flood of 1936 entered the basement and I first floors of Home's.
