Epiphany Catholic Church

Epiphany Catholic Church was my last stop of the day.  It’s the big church by the Mellon Arena at the edge of Pittsburgh’s Hill District.  This church was in danger of being torn down to make space for a new casino and arena, but was saved as it’s designated as a National Historic Landmark. One unfortunate thing about this church is that it smells like a fish fry, or at least it did while I was there—during lent on a Saturday, so it’s likely that it just needed to be aired out from the previous day.  A very kind member of the church showed me how to get up to the organ and choir loft.  This staircase to the loft has nice directional light and graceful curves.  I think it was my favorite find in this historic church.
