This is the Texas Road site currently occupied by the University of Pittsburgh. The grounds are totally fenced in with plenty of greenery to prevent good photos. Most of the fencing looks to be the original heavy duty posts and wire minus the barbed wire on top.

From the listed website:
"C - 713 New Texas Rd ((P) Univ. Pittsburgh Primate Research Lab) [(Marak, R) August 2009 - The site is located in Plum, PA, quite near where the borders of Monroeville (not Monroe, located in the opposite end of the state), Plum & Murrysville meet. I drive past it all the time. When I was a kid, you could see the missles on the hill across the valley from the lot at the end of my street in Monroeville. The army housing is still present on the site and is rented out to tenants; there was a rental sign indicating units available when I drove past earlier this week. I don't know if any of the other facilities are still in place. Everything's pretty overgrown and you can't really tell from the road."
