North Side

The North Side is an unsuspecting treasure trove of activities & places you never knew existed. If you're seeking that so-called "local” culture, look no further. The North Side area is home to some of the richest historical and cultural components of the Burgh. With well-preserved buildings dating back to the 1700's, the Mexican War Streets, Heinz Field, PNC Park, Deutschtown and at least a day's worth of museum hopping between the Warhol, Mattress Factory and others, the North Side is the perfect sightseeing destination for newcomers and residents alike.

Because of the amount of steel wealth in Pittsburgh at the turn of the century, it’s been said there's more Tiffany windows in area churches and mansions than most cities of its size. A stunning example can be found at the Calvary United Methodist Church. There are three main installations here depicting biblical scenes — two 30-foot sanctuary windows are among Tiffany’s largest, and a third that was the most costly stained glass commission of its time by the studio. A recent restoration removed more than 100 years of mill dirt from all of the windows. The building itself is a magnificent tribute to the great cathedrals of Europe -- Gothic architecture complete with elaborately decorated spires, louvers, gargoyles, and other carvings. Inspiring to look at from both inside and out.
