Video Clips
This video was transferred from a 16mm reel found in the home of the former Mothers Club of Carrick, PA. This reel was donated to the Carrick-Overbrook Historical Society and then converted to DVD. Currently this footage is the only home movie of the Carrick Community in this early time period of the 1940s. This movie also contains the original entrance to Carrick Park which was later renamed "Phillips Park." Also featured is the original Mothers Club house which was demolished for Pittsburgh Carrick High School’s first addition. This film was very rare for its time since it was in color and originally there was sound recorded onto a phonograph. At this present time we are unable to locate the audio that was recorded.

Toast To Our Club House
By: Frieda McKelvey Anderson, June 1924
"(with apologies to Edgar Guest.)"
It took a hea o'fixin', to make that house a Home,
First of all, a place to put it, never more to roam.
Partitions taken out: more windows put in,
Plaster, paint and flooring, and even some new tin.
It took our Mrs. Gearing to see the whole thing thru,
And all on her committee were faithful and true.
Furnishings and draperies, attention needed too
So Mrs. Trott and her committee had their bit to do.
By your generosity these dreams were realized
The Club House stands completed, a treasure to be prized.
A Symbol to our city of greater things to come,
It takes a heap o' fixin' to make a house a Home.
