Saint Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church is a former Roman Catholic church located at 1326 East Ohio Street in the Troy Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The church was established in 1894, and is the site of the first Croatian Catholic Parish in America. The church, as pictured, was built from 1900 to 1904, and the architect was Frederick C. Sauer. It was added to the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations on July 13, 2001.[1] This church is no longer in use. The congregation moved to St. Nicholas Croatian Church in Millvale, Pennsylvania, where it is currently located. That church was built in 1922, and the architect was also Frederick C. Sauer.
This old iconic church at the foot of Troy Hill is possibly going to be removed and/or torn down in the near future to make way for road expansion along Pennsylvania Route 28.
