		+	Description In the 1930s, City Councilman John M. Phillips wanted to do something about the deteriorating condition of the Pittsburgh Zoo. One of the main exhibits in need of repair was the bear cages. After a visit to the Bronx Zoo, he returned to Pittsburgh with a $300,000 plan for new, barless bear dens which were to be among the first renovations in a ten-year plan for the zoo. The new dens were able to be made barless by employing a moat to keep the bears from getting to the visitors. This design was made popular by Germany at the turn of the century. When the dens opened on September 11, 1937, there were four dens; the dens were for polar, grizzly and cinnamon bears, as well as black and brown bears.

		+
		+	The students learned how Mr. Phillips helped create Pennsylvania state parks, including Cooks Forest and Pymatuming, the Pennsylvania State Game Commission to regulate hunting and fishing, and the Boy Scouts of America. He was also a director of South Side Hospital. Pittsburgh Phillips K-5 in South Side is named after Mr. Phillips and his wife, Harriet Duff Phillips. However, the children were most interested in the animals and birds, including a kangaroo, which the Phillips kept at their home.
		+
		+	Unexpectedly inquisitive, they were excited their school is the fifth building to carry the name "Concord Elementary" and that the current building dates to back to 1938, built with the help of Harriet Duff Phillips. With all the original lighting fixtures, stage and seating, the students curiously asked about former students, many realizing for the first time their own parents and grandparents may have sat and had classes there.
