Father Pitt

Why should the beautiful die?


St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Highland Park

Perspective view of the church

Built in 1905–1909, St. Andrew’s was designed by Carpenter & Crocker, who seem to have been favorites among the Episcopalians of Pittsburgh: they also designed the parish house for the cathedral downtown and St. James’ in Homewood, now the Church of the Holy Cross. This building is dominated by its outsized tower.
