Former Pittsburgh Wash House and Public Baths Building, Romanesque Revival building in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, United States.
The Former Pittsburgh Wash House and Public Baths Building features a recessed entrance, springing arches, and prominent stone masonry across its three-story facade.
Built in 1904 with financial support from Henry W. Phipps Jr. and George Westinghouse, this structure became the third public wash house in the United States.
The wash house served as a central meeting point where Pittsburgh residents gathered to clean clothes and maintain personal hygiene in the early 1900s.
Located at 3495 Butler Street, the building now functions as office space and stands as a contributing property within the Lawrenceville Historic District.
George Westinghouse contributed an electric generator and equipment that enabled the facility to operate modern laundry services for the local community.
