The architects of this striking Tudor mansion on Judges’ Row (as this stretch of fine houses facing Riverview Park is still called in the neighborhood) were Allison & Allison, who also designed the Watson Memorial Presbyterian Church up the street. The Gazette for September 5, 1905, printed an illustration of the house with this description:
One of the most attractive houses started in Allegheny this summer is the residence of David Roney in Perrysville Avenue, which was designed by Architects Allison & Allison. The house is a good model of the English style of architecture, having the first story of gray brick and the second of plaster with half timber construction. A large brick porch adds considerably to the outward appearance. The residence will cost about $20,000.
