A nice old house that's being restored. It even has a turret! Little Leprechaun worries it might be haunted.

I couldn't find any information about this house, having just the address to go on. The National Register doesn't even record who designed it or owned it originally. So, I'll describe the neighborhood, where it fits in perfectly.
Remember that Allegheny used to be a separate city. Pittsburgh was that other city, on the opposite side of the river. North Avenue was a main thoroughfare in Allegheny, and it formed the border of the grand old-style city park that is still across the street from this house. So, admire the Victorian era architecture, then enjoy the Victorian park with its neatly placed statues, trees and monuments.
