John Frew House

The John Frew House features a stone construction with symmetrical facades and classic decorative elements spread across three stories of locally quarried sandstone.

Built in 1790, the house includes an original three-story section made of cut sandstone, followed by a Greek Revival addition constructed in 1840.

The residence showcases nineteenth-century interior design elements, including original ceiling beams of pit-sawn white oak and period-appropriate decorative furnishings throughout the rooms.

Located ten minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, the house maintains its structural integrity through modern heating and air conditioning systems installed without disturbing the walls.

The property contains a large pool with preserved plumbing for a fountain and waterfall, though its original purpose remains unknown to current residents.
