Westinghouse Memorial, Bronze monument at Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, US.

The Westinghouse Memorial is a bronze and granite monument in Schenley Park. A schoolboy statue, "The Spirit of the American Youth", faces three double-sided bronze panels set in a semicircle on a Norwegian granite base. The panels show George Westinghouse at his drafting table, flanked by a mechanic and an engineer, with a granite plaque marking the first trial of the air brake.

The memorial was built in 1930, funded entirely by the company's workforce as a tribute to their former leader. This grassroots effort reflects the industrial era when employees felt deeply connected to the company and its founder.

The schoolboy statue, called "The Spirit of the American Youth", faces the three bronze panels as if drawing inspiration from Westinghouse's life. The models for the two workers on the central panel were actual Westinghouse employees, Thomas Campbell and Anton Kusebauch. The dedication on October 6, 1930, Westinghouse's birthday, was declared "Westinghouse Day", and local employees got the day off.

The memorial sits in an accessible area of the park and can be reached on foot without difficulty. Parking is available nearby, making it easy to combine your visit with other park attractions.

The bronze pieces were cast by the Gorham Manufacturing Company of Rhode Island, and Masaniello Piccirilli of the Piccirilli Brothers spent about 14 months carving the wax models used for the castings. The memorial was originally covered in gold leaf, chosen to suit the city's smoky air, but it was scratched off by vandals and removed in December 1941, paid for by the Westinghouse Air Brake Company.
