Property Description
Boggs Mansion is a grand Romanesque Revival residence located in Pittsburgh’s historic North Side. Built in 1888 as the city townhouse of department store magnate Russell H. Boggs, the mansion is an impressive example of late 19th-century architectural elegance. Designed in the style of H. H. Richardson by the firm Longfellow, Alden & Harlow, its massive stone façade faces West Park, giving it a stately presence in the neighborhood.
Carefully restored in the late 1990s after years of decline, the mansion retains many original features while offering modern comforts. Restoration work revived intricate woodwork, detailed stone carvings, stained glass windows, and the majestic hand-carved staircase. The home’s distinctive ‘blood marble’ fireplaces, once reserved for royal tombs, and Austrian crystal chandeliers add to its grandeur.
The 9,000-square-foot property offers eight elegantly appointed guest rooms on the upper floors, each with a private en-suite bathroom and period-inspired furnishings. Common areas include the formal parlor, a library bar, and gathering spaces furnished with antiques and a grand piano. Guests can enjoy a house-prepared hot breakfast each morning in surroundings that reflect the mansion’s historic charm.
Set within the picturesque Mexican War Streets district, the mansion is within walking distance of PNC Park, Acrisure Stadium, Allegheny Commons Park, and other local attractions. Boggs Mansion stands as a testament to Pittsburgh’s Gilded Age, offering a blend of historic grandeur and modern hospitality in a unique and memorable setting.
