Father Pitt

Why should the beautiful die?


House with Carved Stone Trim, Allegheny West

914 Western Avenue

Old Pa Pitt does not yet know the architect of this house on Western Avenue, which looks as though it dates from somewhere around 1890. The carving in the stone trim might have been done by Achille Giammartini, who is known to have decorated many of the houses in Allegheny West.
