Saint Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church, Catholic church ruins in Troy Hill, Pittsburgh, US
The church building featured a Romanesque Revival design with large stone walls, arched windows, and a prominent bell tower facing East Ohio Street.
Established in 1904 as part of the first Croatian Catholic parish in the United States, the church served as a religious center until its closure in 2004.
The church building represented the strong presence of Croatian immigrants in Pittsburgh during the early 20th century, reflecting their religious and community values.
The structure stood vacant after 2004 due to structural issues and maintenance costs of $360,000 per year until its demolition in January 2013.
The site has been transformed into a park with murals depicting Pittsburgh's history, including images of the former church building.
