Why should the beautiful die?


Fairy-Tale Palace in Cedarhurst Manor, Mount Lebanon

418 Greenhurst Drive

This fairy-tale palace, finished in 1930 or 1931, was designed by Paul Scheuneman, whom old Pa Pitt has already pointed out as a skilled practitioner of what we call the fairy-tale style—see these two houses in Green Tree. This one was featured in the Sun-Telly on Washington’s Birthday in 1931:

Finish Cedarhurst Manor Home. English Design—Caste Brothers, builders, have recently completed this home in Cedarhurst Manor, new residential park on the outskirts of Mot. Lebanon. The architect was Paul R. Scheuneman. Several more homes are being planned.
Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, February 22, 1931. Note how much lighter the stones were when they were new.
