William Penn Snyder House, Historic residence in Allegheny West, Pittsburgh, United States.

The William Penn Snyder House stands as a three-story brownstone structure with French Renaissance Revival architecture at 850-854 Ridge Avenue in Pittsburgh.

Built in 1911 by architect George Orth and Brother, this residence cost $450,000 and became part of the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

The residence marked its opening with a combined housewarming celebration and debutantes' ball honoring the Penn family daughter in January 1912.
