Did you know that, when the Birminghams became the South Side of the city of Pittsburgh in 1892, there was a Welsh church in East Birmingham? Did you know that the building is still there, hiding behind a gaudy flag mural? See it for yourself at FatherPitt.com.

Churches with the Sanctuary Upstairs
Have you ever seen a church where you have to climb a full flight of stairs to get to the main worship space? You probably have, even if you haven’t noticed them: they’re everywhere in old rowhouse neighborhoods. Old Pa Pitt found eight on the South Side alone, and you can see them at FatherPitt.com.
The Original Mellon Institute
At FatherPitt.com, we have new pictures of Allen Hall, the original location of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research. Old Pa Pitt has even gone to the trouble of duplicating a picture of the building from 1915, so that you can compare two pictures a century apart.
Church of the Holy Cross, Homewood
A distinguished work of Carpenter & Crocker, kept scrupulously perfect by its appreciative congregation. See it at the improved FatherPitt.com.
