Grandview Church Demolition Looms | Pittsburgh News
About this episode
The historic Grandview United Presbyterian Church is set for demolition due to safety concerns following a fire, with potential plans for a new condo development on the site.
The historic Grandview United Presbyterian Church on Mount Washington is set for demolition after a fire two weeks ago, with permits expected by Thursday and work possibly starting as early as Friday. The vacant church, owned by the Pittsburgh Presbytery, has been ordered torn down by July 20 due to safety concerns, and Schaaf Excavating has been hired to handle the job. While the Presbytery acknowledges the emotional toll on the community and thanks emergency responders, they’re asking for patience as they coordinate with city officials. The site may soon become a new condo development, and the adjacent Carnegie Library remains closed through July 22, disrupting local services.
