Described as “Chateau Country” by PHLF’s co-founder Jamie Van Trump, Point Breeze was once home to Pittsburgh industrialists of great wealth: Andrew Carnegie, H.J. Heinz, George Westinghouse, and Henry Clay Frick, among others. Only Frick’s grand home, “Clayton,” survives, as part of The Frick Pittsburgh, but there is still much to see and explore in this large, residential city neighborhood. The tour will amble among Point Breeze’s lovely streets and include the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary (originally the home of Durbin Horne, son of Joseph Horne), Pittsburgh New Church, nearby main street shops, and Engine House No. 16, now home of Fireman Creative.
Tour Meeting Point: Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, 7418 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15208. Meet at the side entrance to the building.
Tour Ending Point: Westinghouse Park, 7051 Thomas Boulevard, Pittsburgh, PA 15208
Please arrive 15 minutes before start time in order to ensure that the tour gets underway on time.
Parking: Parking is available at the Seminary.
Accessibility: This tour is accessible to people with mobility challenges. Bear in mind, however, that the round-trip route from tour meeting point to ending point and back to meeting point to retrieve your call will be a little over two miles.
