Why should the beautiful die?
This pretty little church stands on the Stanton Heights corner of the intersection where Stanton Heights, Garfield, and East Liberty meet on city planning maps. We might identify it as Romanesque by its round arches, but the general form, square with a corner tower, seems more Arts and Crafts.

This is one of at least three Pittsburgh churches I know of that was designed by architect Charles Morrison Robinson. It was dedicated in April 1903. The others were Highland Avenue Presbyterian Church from 1900 (sadly demolished in 1982) and St. Andrew Lutheran Church from 1902. [See the Pittsburgh Weekly Gazette, 22 Nov. 1901, and the Pittsburgh Press, 7 April 1903].
