1. Allegheny County Courthouse and Jail

DOWNTOWN.   Considered one of architect Henry Hobson Richardson's greatest works, this magnificent Romanesque-style structure occupies two square city blocks. The Bridge of Sighs, where convicts traversed from court to prison, is just part of this National Historic Landmark's rich history. Group tours provided by the History and Landmark Foundation, and a self-guided tour (visitors follow a brochure) is free.   (© 10Best)
