We Preserve and Promote the History of Manchester

Manchester Historic Society was founded in 1996 to help preserve and promote the history of Manchester.

Manchester is located just minutes from downtown Pittsburgh and offers the advantages of community living in the midst of the larger urban experience.  We’re minutes from the North Shore, major sports and cultural attractions, the casino and the Federal Street renewal.  We’re easily accessible from all parts of the region.  Located along the east bank of the Ohio River, Manchester is roughly bounded to the north by the Conrail Railroad, to the west by Chateau Street, to the east by Allegheny Avenue and to the south by Western Avenue.

Community advantages

 

Welcome to the Manchester Historic Society

Manchester is one of Pittsburgh's 90 distinct neighborhoods located on the western side of the lower Northside.

Community

 

The Manchester neighborhood has 3,000 residents that call it home.  We have residents that have lived here all their lives and ones that have recently moved in for the charm of the neighborhood and the convenience of living close to the city.

Neighborhood

 

Manchester is an amazing fusion of old and new... homes that have been handed down through generations, preservations that can take you back in time to the turn of the century, and new and modern interpretations of classic styles.

Accessibility

 

You will find a neighborhood with wide, flat streets and sidewalks and easy access to all of the city's major attractions like theaters, stadiums, and restuarants.

Historical

 

We are Pittsburgh's largest historic district. It encompasses 51.6 acres and over 600 buildings.
