This is really how the fashionable 1% lived in Pittsburgh's glory years, above both the world most technologically advanced steelmill down by the river and fifteen streets of squalid tenements for the workers marching up Homestead's hill from the train tracks.The trim of this duplex is all quartersawn shellacked white oak, plain foursquare work, obviously all shaped on-site by a master trim carpenter and his apprentices.
