10 of the Coolest Pittsburgh Houses You Can Visit

When it comes to unique Pittsburgh houses, be it the historical or downright weird, this city is full of them. Unfortunately, many of these houses are private residences that are not open to the public, which makes fully appreciating them somewhat tricky.

Throughout our quest to experience the many things to do in Pittsburgh , we've visited a number of the unique houses in the city and have fallen in love with several of them.

In this guide we wanted to share some of our favorites that you can also go visit!

This guide only features Pittsburgh houses we've personally toured. If you are looking for more details about each house, click the link inside the description to be taken to our full review. When we find more properties to explore in the future, we will update this guide accordingly! 

Note: Most every house in this guide requires advanced reservations. Many do not accept walk-up visitors.

Bayernhof Museum

It would be easy for us to describe the Bayernhof as the former residence of Charles Brown III, an eccentric millionaire who built a unique Bavarian inspired house full of secret passages and many other odd surprises- but that would be doing the house a disservice by itself (although that sounds cool enough as it is, right?).

While the architecture of the house would be enough to warrant a visit, the true highlight of this house is that it is home to one of the largest collections of self-playing musical instruments in the world.

You see, Mr. Brown was a collector of these unique music machines and in his final will and testament he wished to share them with the world. So his estate was turned into a museum, and visitors now are able to take a tour to learn all about Mr. Brown's life, his unique instrument collection, and even hear a sampling of the instruments as well!

Clayton – The Frick House

Henry Clay Frick was one of Pittsburgh's richest citizens thanks to his work in the steel industry with his business partner Andrew Carnegie.

Over the years he grew his estate to an impressive scale, and after his death most of the property was given to the city (now Frick Park ) or sold to become private residences.

Due to the work of his daughter, Helen Frick, the Pittsburgh mansion (simply known as Clayton after Frick's middle name) still stands and is available for tours to help keep the history of the Frick family alive.

And what a mansion it is!

The Clayton is set up in the same style as when the Fricks lived in it themselves in the early 1900s, and the tour guides do a wonderful job highlighting what life was like for the Fricks- including covering the history of the estate and details of Pittsburgh's steel industry where Henry Clay Frick made his fortune.

For those who want a tour that combines Pittsburgh's iconic history with what life was like for the affluent 100 years ago, this tour is a must. Just be sure to allow plenty of extra time to explore the grounds of the property which are just as impressive as the mansion itself!

The Troy Hill Art Houses

Found along a quiet road in Troy Hill, the three Troy Hill Art Houses look just like any other house on the block. But only those in the know have any clue about what lies inside. During our visit to the houses, we asked the owner if he'd like a review on our site, and he politely declined as a means to keep the secret of the house safe. The surprise of finding out what is inside is half the fun, naturally.

So while we may be honoring the owner's wishes and not featuring a dedicated review here (we didn't even take a single photo during our visit!), we do have to give a shout out to the three incredibly unique houses in Pittsburgh as our digital “word of mouth” plug.  Take our word for it when we say these are worth visiting without knowing what to expect.

Do yourself a favor and keep it that way until you arrive. While they are all pretty spectacular, we have to admit Darkhouse Lighthouse is our favorite!

The Hartwood Mansion

The mansion at Hartwood Acres is located just north of Pittsburgh and is a beautiful Tudor-style house that was erected in the 1920s by John and Mary Flinn Lawrence.

The house is open for public tours with advance registration and offers a glimpse into what life was like for the affluent family in the mid-1900s. But the real beauty of this house is in the design itself, as the house is simply stunning inside and out!

On one hand it is an extremely modern house for the period, featuring amenities you did not see at the time. On the other hand the couple's design tastes were most certainly considered “Old World,” and at times feels like you are in a European castle from centuries past.

As an added bonus, tour this one around the holidays for their gorgeous Christmas decorations as well!

Trundle Manor

Trundle Manor is the home of Mr. Arm and Velda von Minx, two artisans who have amassed what is perhaps the most unique collections in the city.

Collections of what, you might ask? Well, it is hard to put one word on just what this couple collects as it ranges from taxidermy animals, unusual movie memorabilia, all the way to a customized zombie killer car in their garage and a death ray in the kitchen.

One of the only consistent themes found in this house is that a good percentage of the collection was made by the couple themselves thanks to their wide artistic skill set.

It is an understatement to say that you never know what you're going to expect on a visit to Trundle Manor, and to be honest you'll probably need to return several times just to see it all.

Thankfully the couple offers more than just house tours and also operates stand-up comedy nights, couple's taxidermy lessons, weekly horror movie screenings, and more!

But before you pick up the phone to make a reservation, heed this warning: Trundle Manor is not for everyone . If the idea of tumors in a jar, preserved fetal animals, and fish-doberman taxidermy hybrids bothers you, you may wish to skip this one.

But if you are like us and are curious about the previous list of items, then a you need to schedule a visit straight away.

Fallingwater

If you're willing to make a bit of a drive, Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Fallingwater house near Ohiopyle is worth the trip.

This house is often considered to be one of Wright's best works and seamlessly blends nature and architecture into one beautiful house.

Instead of providing a house with a view of a waterfall, Wright made the house part of it to where the waterfall can be experienced in almost every corner of the house in one way or another.

Be sure to check this one out in the various seasons as the houses seemingly changes along with the nature around it!

Kentuck Knob

Kentuck Knob is a second house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the Laurel Highlands (just a few miles from Fallingwater) and is more of his typical Usonian style design.

Located on a beautiful hilltop, this one is worth a tour to see a more conventional Wright house in addition to taking in the beauty of the countryside. Even better? The crowds are often a bit lessened here making for a much more intimate experience!

Buffalo Bill's House

If you are a fan of The Silence of the Lambs odds are good you remember Buffalo Bill's house quite well. Some of the most iconic scenes in the movie were filmed at this homestead outside of Perryopolis, PA, and it is now open for tours and house rentals!

Not only is this one full of some amazing art and memorabilia from the movie, they even have a recreation of the well for, ahem, phot ops as well!

The Buffalo Bill House is located at 8 Circle Street in Perryopolis, PA. Tours are generally one weekend a month (reservation required) from spring through fall and is available as a private rental the rest of the year.

House & History Tours

The history of Pittsburgh’s Northside is unique not just in it once being an independent city but in its swing of fortune and attention received over the years. Once a quick escape for many of Pittsburgh’s richest families from the loud and dirty industries that lined Pittsburgh’s rivers, it is also the place where the massive redevelopment project of the I-279 corridor and the Allegheny Center Mall complex shattered the very communities they were ostensibly meant to serve. Famous inventors, artists, industrialists, entrepreneurs and architects are bound into the history and evolution of the Northside. The streets and houses, neighborhoods and institutions that make up the Northside represent not only its colorful history but a bridge between a rich past and a hopeful and hopefully rich future.

The 18 neighborhoods that comprise the Northside have their own unique attributes and history. Some have seen a strong resurgence in their businesses and housing restoration; some have sat quietly and changed very little over the years. But for all, there is a story to tell and places to show to the other neighborhoods of the Northside and to other neighborhoods of the city and beyond.

House and history tours are one way to feature our neighborhoods and even though not new, they have been embraced by numerous neighborhoods. It gives the neighborhoods an opportuniry to show themselves off and welcome people into places they may not have been. 

If you are interested in going on a tour, follow the links on the right to the various neighborhood committees that are sponsoring the tours. If you would like to participate in some way or have resources to offer, please follow the links on the right and get the contact information for each neighborhood group sponsoring the house tours. 

Please join us here on the Northside and see what we have to offer. We think that you’ll be delighted to find the places and people and ideas we have in each neighborhood!

Northside Leadership Conference

The Northside Leadership Conference (NSLC) is a coalition of Northside community-based organizations, committed to addressing mutual concerns through a united approach in order to promote and enhance the vitality, quality of life and image of Pittsburgh’s Northside. NSLC serves 20% of the City and operates seven business lines, making NSLC the largest and most comprehensive CDC in Pittsburgh.
