I don't think it is, however it may not be represented in this work. It sits closer to the Mon presently.

First Presbyterian Church was around back then, but they have built newer church structures since 1817.

If not for the Great Fire of 1845, more might.

I found this sketch at Biddle’s Escape over the summer and for some reason didn’t get it.

Oceanside receiving the latest delegates from Hilltop and Alexandria. The Kingdom delegates are notably absent in this depiction.

Makes it seem like the west end bridge was built in the late 1700s.

The Burke Building is the oldest existing office building and it was built in 1836. It's on Fourth Avenue next to PPG Place. Other than that, I think the only structure that would have been there in 1817 is the blockhouse. The Great Fire took most of the downtown in 1845. Anything that survived would have been torn down by now.
