Last year officials of Allegheny General Hospital, which owns the Aeberlie house on North Avenue next to the hospital, asked us for assistance to find a way to restore and reuse this handsome Victorian building that has been decaying for many years.

PHLF underwrote the costs for Landmarks Design Associates Architects to prepare an initial study and the hospital then hired the firm to proceed with a detailed plan to stabilize the building, make it water tight and restore the exterior.

A grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation and other funding enabled the hospital to proceed with the work which will greatly improve this important buildings across from the area of the Allegheny Commons that is being restored.
