Fairy-Tale Apartment Building in Mount Lebanon

189 Castle Shannon Boulevard, Mount Lebanon

Somehow the line for the Mount Lebanon Historic District was drawn just to the left side of this building, leaving it unhistorical, though taking in a much more pedestrian postwar apartment building across the street. Fortunately, historic district or no historic district, most of the details have been preserved, although the original windows would have added a layer of artistry that their simpler modern replacements lack.

The art glass in the stairwell has been preserved.
