Pitcairn House, Charles & Henry Greene, Architects 1906

Charles and Henry Greene designed the house as a residence for Robert Pitcairn, Jr. of Pittsburgh, PA. The house features a stained shingle exterior, cantelivered sleeping porches, massive exposed beams and broad terraces that integrate the house with the site. The private Westridge School purchased the house for $50,000 in 1973, employing architects Roland E. Coate, Jr. and Tim Anderson to refurbish the house and adapt it for school use. Furthur restoration work was commissioned by the architectural firm of Moule and Polyzoides in 1966.

Located at 324 Madeline Street on the campus of Westridge School.
