1902 Architect: Edward Stotz The Church of the Epiphany is one of the few reminders that the Lower Hill section of Pittsburgh was once a thriving residential neighborhood on the edge of the Golden Triangle. It was designed in the form of an Italian Romanesque basilica, and built of redbrick with terra cotta trim. The interior decoration, which includes frescoes, was designed by John Comes, a principal designer of Catholic churches in the Pittsburgh area at the time. Epiphany Church served as the temporary Roman Catholic cathedral from 1903 to 1906, when the new St. Paul's Cathedral was opened in Oakland. The church is the center of a complex of four buildings, including a parish house (1902), a school (1910), and the St. Regis Residence (1914).
