It’s 2025. The walk
to the game at PNC Park starts across the street, where Pirates highlights are
playing on a gigantic LED screen, a band is pumping up the crowd on one of two
stages, and fans are pounding down a few “arns” in the beer garden.
That’s all part of the vision the team
and its partner, HiLife Hospitality, have for the 30,000-square-foot outdoor
plaza they are developing at the corner of Mazeroski Way and West General
Robinson Street.
It includes a 40 ½-foot by nearly
23-foot LED screen, two stages – one directly across the street from PNC Park’s
home plate entrance – and a covered beer garden next to a food stand.
They are planning to fill the plaza with events like
concerts, movies, watch parties, and fitness classes that will be programmed
throughout the year, not just the 81 days the Pirates play at home.
The two stages will serve as plaza
bookends. A longer one will be placed directly in front of the video board. A
wider one will be on the east side opposite PNC Park.
Officials representing the city of Pittsburgh, a veterans organization and two civic groups used a Memorial Day service Sunday to usher in a display of banners — beginning in June — honoring those from Mount Washington who served in the military.
The banners with vets’ photos will hang from street poles along Grandview and Virginia avenues in Mount Washington in years to come between Memorial Day and Veterans Day
“Being recognized is important, especially for the families of those who have passed,” he said.

MT WASHINGTON NEIGHBOR OF THE YEAR
NOW YOU SEE IT - NOW YOU DON'TGRANDVIEW AVENUE PAVING
GRANDVIEW TOWNHOUSES
If it’s a million-dollar view you want, Kris Senko might have just
the place for you. Or at least he’s hoping so. His company, Nesby LLC, is
pitching a plan to build eight luxury townhouses on Grandview Avenue
on Mount Washington — all aimed at capturing at least part of
those postcard views of the Downtown skyline.The townhouses, to be
built on the south side of Grandview at the much-traveled intersection
with McArdle Roadway, would rise three stories, plus a rooftop deck
with a penthouse to top it off.“It’s designed to provide pretty
incredible views of the city,” said Nathan Hart, principal at
Greenfield-based Hart Architects, the architect for the project.Not
every view will be unobstructed, Mr. Senko said. But he is hoping they
will be good enough to fetch the asking price — about $1 million for
each unit. At least a couple will be over that amount, while others
will be “pretty close,” he said. Besides the rooftop deck and
penthouse, each unit is slated to feature a third-floor master bedroom
with a deck as well as another bedroom/office. The second floor
offers two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a walk-in
laundry. Some will have office space. A living room, dining room, half
bath and kitchen with walk-in pantry will take up the first floor. All
of the units will have a built-in two-car garage.To clear the way for
the new development, Nesby plans to demolish several houses at the
site.The firm gained control of the real estate after one of Mr.
Senko’s partners, drawn to the location, reached out to a previous
developer that had been considering apartments there. Nesby is hoping to break ground next spring. Construction should take
six-eight months, according to Mr. Hart.
St Mary Grade School Converted to Grandview Lofts
A plan to convert a former Catholic school on Mt. Washington into a
34-unit loft apartment building is moving forward.
Mindful Grandview LLC, run by Dustin Jones and Jeffrey Sorbara, the
owners of Mindful Brewing in Castle Shannon, will seek final approval for their project
from the Pittsburgh Planning Commission on Tuesday, January 26.
In 2018, Mindful Grandview purchased the former Bishop Leonard-St. Mary
of the Mount Academy building at 115 Bigham St. and Sullivan Hall — an
adjoining church social property at 133 Bigham St. — for $1.2 million,
according to the Allegheny County real estate website.
Jones anticipates receiving approval from city planners and says
renovation of the school building could begin this spring.
“We’re very excited,” Jones says. “The view is amazing. We don’t have
any plans for the other building yet, with everything that’s going on
with COVID. We don’t have any idea what’s going to happen with the
restaurant industry, but we’ll see what the [Biden] administration does.
We’re trying to be optimistic.”
The four-story building would become Grandview Lofts, with studio, one-
and two-bedroom units for rent. They’ll be priced at market rate, Jones
says, though they haven’t set the price yet.
The school building has been vacant since it closed in 2012 and an
earlier plan to convert the building to condominiums did not
happen. The church itself is located two blocks away on Grandview Avenue.
Mindful Grandview is working on the project with Gregory Newman and
Michael Bliss of Way architecture + design partners and Sean Naylor, a civil engineer with Red Swing Group in Monroeville. They first briefed the Planning Commission about
the project on January 12.
The building’s ground-level gymnasium would be transformed into an
entryway and lobby, business and fitness centers, a property manager’s
office, tenant and bike storage, mechanical areas, and an ADA tenant
apartment.
The three floors of classrooms above would become apartments, with
lounge space and laundry rooms. A new rooftop deck would provide
residents with 360-degree views of Downtown, the Monongahela River, the
North Side, and Mt. Washington. To ensure that the guardrails don’t
interrupt the views, they’ll be fitted with glass panels.
“Most of the exterior scope is restorative in nature, with cleaning of
existing brick and stone trim,” the developers note in their
presentation for final approval. “New alterations are limited to the new
entry vestibule on the east side of the building, within [a] screened
parking lot, and the new roof deck structures, which enclose fire stair
extensions and [an] elevator for accessibility to the new roof deck
itself.”
Mindful Grandview and Way architecture began a community outreach
process last January and have since received approvals for the project
from the Mount Washington Community Development Corporation, Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire and the Pittsburgh Zoning Board of
Adjustment. The developers have promised to meet neighbors’ requirements
that include sound abatement and landscaping.
renovated Carnegie Library on Mount Washington

The Mount Washington library is the 18th and final neighborhood
branch in the Pittsburgh library system to be renovated through its
Neighborhood Library Revitalization Program, which began in 2002. The
white building — built in 1900 through industrialist Andrew Carnegie’s
largesse — is highly visible on Grandview Avenue and sits behind one
of the famed overlooks
The $4.05 million construction project added 46% more space
and provided ADA accessibility for the first time, with a ramp
entryway from the street and an elevator, according to a news
release. “A lot of respect was paid to the original Carnegie-built location
and the architecture,” said Carlton Stout, assistant director or
neighborhood libraries. “Folks will see the front desk they know and
love. They will see the phone booth, the woodwork. The addition is
new, fresh and bright in its own way. It’s a great mix of the
two.”
An additional 2,721 square feet allows
for distinct spaces by age group. The addition has larger space for
children, and a former basement meeting room has been transformed into
an area for teens. Another key improvement was the addition of
energy-efficient heating, cooling and lighting systems. The building
previously had no permanent air conditioning. The project also
provided an outdoor patio and fenced in yard that can be used as a
programming space as well as a large meeting room and small conference
room for community use. “I can just imagine once we get back to full
tilt, we’ll be able to have story times outside and programming
outside room for community use.

The former Bishop Leonard-St. Mary of the
Mount Academy and St. Mary social hall have changed hands.
PITTSBURGH, PA - An old elementary school and church social hall on a
prime piece of Mt. Washington real estate have been sold for $1.2
million, and the future of the properties could involve an upscale
brewery and restaurant.
The former Bishop Leonard-St. Mary of the Mount Academy at the corner of
Grandview Avenue and Bigham Street was sold to Mindful Grandview LLC,
according to the Allegheny County real estate website
Mindful Grandview also has purchased the adjoining property at 133
Bigham Street, the site of Sullivan Hall, the St. Mary of the Mount
church social hall. The church, a Pittsburgh landmark located two blocks
from the old school on Grandview, can be seen miles away because of its
location atop Mt. Washington.
According to Pennsylvania Department of State Bureau of Corporations and
Charitable Organizations, Mindful Grandview was organized by Dustin
Jones and Jeffrey Sorbara. Since January 2017, the pair have owned and
operated Mindful Brewing Company on Library Road in Castle Shannon.
Located in a former McGinnis Sisters Grocery Store, Mindful Brewery
contains a brewery, a restaurant and bar with 70 beers on tap and a
bottle shop stocking more than 1,000 different beers.
Patch's attempts to reach Jones and Sorbara regarding their plans for
the properties via phone, email and social media were unsuccessful.
The school building sits on a 42,364 square-foot lot that is designated
as commercial, according to the county real estate website. Sullivan
Hall, which sits on a 2,600 square-foot lot next to the school and also
would make a good site for a brewpub, also is designated commercial on
the county website.
Bishop Leonard-St. Mary of the Mount Academy, known simply as St. Mary
for most of its decades-long history, was a K-8 school that closed in
2012. Plans to transform the building into condominiums were unveiled in
2014 but failed to materialize.
For several years, St. Mary has been planning to build a new social hall
on a vacant lot across the street from the church on Grandview

Eleanor Halloran of Mount Washington is clearly from healthy Irish stock. The 1935 graduate of St. Mary’s of the Mount is the school’s oldest living alumnus. She’s outlived her famous cousin, Monsignor Charles Owen Rice, “the Labor Priest” who died at age 97.
She was born on Jan. 15, 1917, in New York City and moved to Pittsburgh with her parents, Joseph and Ida Rice, her younger sister, Lucille, and several relatives, including two boys who would become monsignors — Charles Owen and his brother, Patrick.
Although she received a four-year scholarship to a small Catholic college, she attended Business Training College (now Park Point University) in Downtown and received a secretarial certificate.
She worked as a legal secretary for the Internal Revenue Service in the Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco Tax until 1945, when she married World War II veteran William Halloran. They had four children: Richard and Michael (both deceased), Rita Gray of Mount Washington, with whom she currently lives, and Robert Halloran of Whitehall.
After her husband died in 1955, Mrs. Halloran returned to work at the IRS and retired in 1982 after 35 years of service. A longtime member of the Mount Washington Women's Club, she served as its president for a number of years.
After retirement, she traveled throughout the United States and to Europe and the Caribbean. She loves to discuss politics, history, fashion, food and film and prefers a slice of cake and a cup of tea to any medicine. Mrs. Halloran has five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, and she celebrated her birthday in January with family in the house she has lived in for 85 years.

New book offers an open window into Cardinal Wuerl's life
“It is a beautiful, rewarding life of service to God’s people and trying to stay close
to the Lord,” Cardinal Donald Wuerl shared in observance of his 50th jubilee of priesthood.
Born on Nov. 12, 1940, in Pittsburgh, he attended St. Mary of the Mount elementary
and high school.He was ordained on Dec. 17, 1966, by Bishop Francis Reh at St. Peter’s Basilica
in Rome. Just 19 years later, on Jan. 6, 1986, Pope John Paul II ordained him a
bishop in that same basilica.
