Schenley Farms Historic District, Historic district in Oakland neighborhood, Pittsburgh, United States.

The Schenley Farms Historic District contains 154 buildings spanning various architectural styles across 170 acres of carefully planned residential and institutional spaces.

The district emerged in 1905 when trustees of Mary Schenley's estate sold the land for development under F F Nicola's vision of a model city design.

The neighborhood incorporates numerous University of Pittsburgh buildings, including the Cathedral of Learning and Heinz Memorial Chapel, forming an educational landscape.

Residents must follow specific regulations regarding renovations and construction to maintain the historical integrity of their properties within the district.

The district combines two separate Pittsburgh historic areas: the Oakland Civic Center Historic District and the residential Schenley Farms Historic District.
