ABOUT THIS BUILDING

Saint Peter Catholic Church’s construction began in 1872 and was completed in 1874. The church was designed by architect Andrew Peebles. From 1876-1889, Saint Peter’s served as the cathedral of the short-lived Diocese of Allegheny. The church underwent a historical renovation in the early 2010s which provided additional structural support and included the installation of air-conditioning and restoration of many of the liturgical appointments in the church.
