Experience the history and culture of Manchester with tour host, Jay Steele, and gain some beautiful insight into one of eighteen sections of Pittsburgh's Northside.
This suburban-like area grew into a large, middle-class, diverse neighborhood, then fell on hard times. As with many areas of the City, it is rebounding with many of its historical homes being beautifully restored. This tour provides an opportunity to see the community's roots as well as a mapping of its current revitalization.
Learn about the origins of the name Manchester. Experience the first preservation district in the nation primarily for African Americans. Examine the fine mix of architecture, including Italianate, Second Empire, Richardsonian Romanesque, Queen Anne, and more! See the oldest surviving public building in Manchester and learn about its history within the community.
