Peter's Building, Mt. Lebanon


This is another building on Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon. Tt's the building where Peter takes lodging when he decides he'll stay in Cam's time until he changes her mind about writing his fictography. It's a building with a very interesting history, but what I love about it is the fact it looks like a castle. I figured if Peter were going to live anywhere, it would have to be in a building that almost looks as if could have been build in 1673. The building was designed in 1928 or so to be a theatre. That's why it has a marquee in the front. But before it was finished, the stock market crashed and the man who was building it lost all his money. It was never finished as a theatre. Instead it became an insurance company for William Hall Insurance. There are apartments on the second floor, though. For many years, until this year, actually, the first floor housed a very upscale wedding dress shop called Anne Gregory for the Bride. This building and the bridal shop was used as a location in a really romantic movie called, The Bread, My Sweet (though the title was changed to A Wedding for Bella when it went to DVD), another good reason for Peter to make it his home.
