This triangular landmark building of brick rises two full stories and is capped with a full-story mansard roof. It has been a commercial building from its beginning. Early on, it was a barbershop. An old photo shows Baths being advertised in bold letters. After that, it was a popular ice cream parlor with the family of the proprietor in residence on the upper floors.
At one time in history, the first floor was headquarters for a teenage coffeehouse and a warehouse for grocery supplies.
In 1975, after local residents raised funds for renovation by Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation, it became the headquarters of the town's newspaper.
Since 1986, all three floors have been occupied by an international art gallery.
