ABOUT THIS BUILDING

Situated on a Penn Family land grant, Smithfield United Church of Christ is home to Pittsburgh’s oldest congregation, dating back to 1782.

Built as the German Evangelical Protestant Church and designed by Henry Hornbostel, this building, dedicated in 1927, is the fifth home to its congregation on this site.

A true skyscraper, the steel frame and curtain-wall construction make the huge stained-glass panels in the sanctuary possible.
