This history is confusing. The 1914-15 AMPD has three Lyrics in Pittsburgh. None are on Carson. The Diamond is listed at 1120 Carson. The other problem is that what was 1211 is using the 1209 address that belongs to the small two story building, and that the present 1211 was historically 1213.
Going back to 2007 on streetview shows no indication of a ceramics shop, but does show what was 1211 being remodeled into a bar. It’s likely the contributor meant that structure. It’s impossible to give a history without knowing where this actually was.
If this was at 1120, it has been demolished. 1120 initially was the other half of 1122, and was replaced sometime after 1924. The 1906 map does show 1122 as an ‘Amusement Arcade’, and the 1924 shows it as a drugstore. 1120 is just a generic ‘Store’ on both maps.
