132 Braddock Road Home

Will I see you at the lecture? 

Abigail and I made a fun discovery online tonight: photos of 132 Braddock Road.

This house has been updated quite a bit since it was designed for Louis T. Frederick in 1915. Lucky for us, one closet is unmistakably Scheibler's ... you'll know it when you see it! The top of the staircase looks familiar too.

Another exciting detail: the photos taken from the inside seem to show a front door on an angle, like 5670 Beacon.

Let's look around!

Check out the front door!

This garage is not unlike the little building I parked inside when I lived in the Old Heidelberg.

Beautiful old (original?) door! Where is the art glass?

Bingo!

That's what we came for!

New Beagle, New Photos: 121 LaCrosse Street

Today I'd like to introduce our new Beagle, Abigail. Abigail is a small dog with big opinions, and she's really unhappy about the weather right now.
 

Maybe this is a better photo to show you.

Abigail is not as adventurous as her predecessor, Porter. But, she makes a good companion for our now-online treasure hunt, especially since we moved out of the Old Heidelberg and Scheibler's territory in Pittsburgh's East End.

Today I'm also excited to show you more photos of 121 LaCrosse Street! The current owner, Judith, let me know that this treasure is for sale, and I wish I could pounce on it! Maybe you will. You can check out the real estate listing here and an updated blog post about the house here.
