Did you know?

The Buhl Foundation is endowed with proceeds from a turn-of-the-century department store business, Boggs & Buhl. Henry Buhl, Jr. and his partner, Russell Boggs, borrowed money to open the first store on the Northside of Pittsburgh in 1869. The partners marketed to the "carriage trade" and that first location grew into a wonderfully successful department store enterprise.
