Father Pitt

A row of four originally identical apartment buildings with Jacobean detailing.

Addendum: The buildings, which date from 1932, were originally called the Washington Arms. The architect, owner, and builder was Rudolph Berg, Jr.¹ His drawing was published in the Pittsburgh Press, February 7, 1932:

This entrance seems to preserve its original details better than the others.

On the other hand, the colored tiles beside the door at this entrance are probably original, but have disappeared from the other three entrances.
