ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Schenley Park Cafe and Visitor Center was the second major improvement project completed by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. The restoration of the century-old structure was completed in 2002.
PRESERVING HISTORY
Whenever possible, the original materials of the building were retained and restored, including foundations, exterior brick walls, historic ornamental windows, and heavy timber roof construction. One new design feature, the back deck, was added in order to provide an additional amenity and allow park visitors to have a “window on the park”.
