Italianate Double House in Manchester
Fujifilm FinePix HS20EXR (a stack of three different exposures). A pair of houses probably built in the 1860s or 1870s, according to old maps, with an addition in the rear in the 1880s.

Brick Queen Anne in Manchester
A particularly fine house built in the 1880s and lovingly restored. It had the good luck to be just missed by the Ohio River Boulevard when it tore through the heart of Manchester.
Picturesquely wavy shingles still decorate the gable.
Not surprisingly, considering the fashion that Richardson’s courthouse set throughout the Pittsburgh area, this house has more than a touch of the Romanesque. Note the former address, 22, carved in stone.
A more modern architect might ask, “Why is there an oval window?” But in the Queen Anne style, which is devoted to the picturesque, the proper question to ask is, “Why should there not be an oval window?”
