Full Description:
The 21 room, 6818 Thomas Blvd, was erected in 1890 and finished in 1897. It is a masterful work of art from the exterior dentel masonry or lime stone porch portico to the sculpted purple slate that lay against a verde green metal 30 foot roof topped with a 20 foot glass pyramid.
The property is situate in the Point Breeze Boulevard Plan envisioned by famous turn of the century Pittsburgh Developer G.E. Simon. Mr. Simon's vision was for Pittsburgh's wealthiest families to enjoy the majestic atmosphere of a spacious Parison boulevard nestled by large victorian homes with statley front veranda views. Many turn of the century Pittsburgh industialist families who purchased on the boulevard include George Westinghouse, H.J Heinz, Andrew Carneige Family and Joseph Horne to name a few.
James P. Hill, a lumber maget for the fashionable East End Pittsburgh Victorian Developments, purchased 6818 Thomas Boulevard. It is understood that at the turn of the century many world travelers and affluent businessmen visited the industrialist and exercised afternoon and evening strolls along the French designed Thomas Boulevard.
Recently renovated in 2005, all mechanicals, windows and roofing are new. A discrete four story elevator shaft is nestled in a 40 foot marble and granite foyer that can be seen through a leaded glass door and side lights in the vestibule hinting of 9 foot oak columns as entry points into the 1rst floor rooms and 22 inch intricate hand painted plaster mouldings 12 feet above to wow your guests from the front door.
Eight gas piped fire places are throughout the house as are Jacuzzi tubs for the (3) marble and granite bathrooms. The 3rd floor boasts a 40 x 22 foot library shadowed by natural light cascading from 45 feet above the 3rd floor center hallway. The 12 x 22 foot commercial scale kitchen has granite and marble floors and crown moulding to accent the black laquer and stainless steel cabinety holding GE profile accessories.
The marquetry white oak and cherry dining room flooring is original to the house and beautifully borders the 22 x 15 foot curved dining room and its center arch ceiling with paneled medalion wings. A tour is a must. |
