Kaufmann's: The Family That Built Pittsburgh’s Famed Department Store is a nonfiction regional history by journalists Marylynne Pitz and Laura Malt Schneiderman. Centered on the Kaufmann family and the department store they built into one of Pittsburgh’s most recognizable institutions, the book traces the rise of the business from immigrant beginnings in 1868 to its emergence as a downtown retail landmark. It is both a family history and a civic history, showing how a single store reflected broader changes in American consumer culture, urban life, and local identity. Rather than treating Kaufmann’s only as a retail brand, the book presents it as a social institution shaped by ambition, philanthropy, competition, and eventual decline. Its purpose is to preserve the memory of a defining Pittsburgh enterprise while explaining why it mattered to generations of shoppers and to the city itself.
