August Wilson House, Historic residence in Hill District, Pittsburgh, United States.
The two-story brick house at 1727 Bedford Avenue features a storefront section and multiple residential apartments within its nineteenth-century architecture.
The residence earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, marking the location where playwright August Wilson spent his early years.
The house represents African American experiences through the connection to Wilson's Pittsburgh Cycle, a series of ten plays set across different decades.
Visitors can explore the restored 1950s period setting, digital exhibits, and performance spaces that showcase the legacy of African American theater.
The backyard of this Bedford Avenue property became the setting for Wilson's Broadway play Seven Guitars, connecting physical space to theatrical creation.
