The Mansion at Maple Heights
The Mansion at Maple Heights is a historical Jacobean mansion in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that has been renovated and is now used as a bed and breakfast.[1]
History
The house was built back in 1903 by Thiebold Berger, a prominent business man in the printing press industry. He built the home as a wedding gift for his daughter and new son-in-law. Originally, the house was red brick, but the daughter did not like it, so Berger had sandstone put around the exterior of the home. It was one of four mansions on Maple Heights Road, which used to be recognized a part of 5th Avenue in Shadyside, a prominent, affluent neighborhood in Pittsburgh.[2]
Current Day Use
The Mansion is the former home of former Pittsburgh Steelers football player, Chukky Okobi, who still owns and operates the bed and breakfast at the property. The Mansion also host many events such as weddings and charity functions.
