Correct, this is where the Brooks Brothers and library is today.

I was referring to the cemetery on Robinson st. Ext / Allliquippa, now U Pitt Fields / Field House

A lot of 'relocation' in Pittsburgh did not involve moving the corpses, just the gravestones. So many former graveyards we're officially allowed to be built over. Or sports fields can be used on the sites. Troy Hill is a good example and there is a Pitt field that is on a former graveyard I believe. With limited space, you have to do something!
