Encyclopedia
The Mansion at Maple Heights is a historical Jacobean mansion in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that has been renovated and is now used as a bed and breakfast.

History

The house was built back in 1903 by Thiebold Berger, a prominent business man in the printing press industry. He built the home as a wedding gift for his daughter and new son-in-law. Originally, the house was red brick, but the daughter did not like it, so Berger had sandstone put around the exterior of the home. It was one of 4 mansions on Maple Heights Road, which used to be recognized a part of 5th Avenue in Shadyside (A prominent, affluent neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA).
