  1. From the Construction Record, March 18, 1911: “Architect W. W. Williams, House Building,…has plans ready for bidding on the 2½-story brick residence to be built on Gladys avenue, Beechview, for Ward Brown, 917 Liberty avenue.” Ultimately it was built as a bungalow, and perhaps “2½” was a misprint for “1½.” ↩︎
