Byers-Lyons House, Renaissance Revival mansion in Allegheny West, Pittsburgh, United States.

The Byers-Lyons House stretches across three and a half stories, featuring ninety rooms, fourteen bathrooms, and an entrance courtyard on Ridge Avenue.

Alexander M. Byers, a steel pipe manufacturing industrialist, commissioned the construction of this double residence in 1898 for himself and his daughter's family.

The mansion's architecture combines Romanesque elements with French and Flemish Renaissance influences, displayed through its stepped chimneys, gables, and verandah designs.

The building now functions as Byers Hall within the Community College of Allegheny County's Allegheny Campus, located at 901 Ridge Avenue.

The residence features a four-part stained glass window on its northwest elevation and wrought metal gates in French seventeenth-century style within its courtyard.
