Edward Stotz
Edward Stotz designed the first million-dollar high school in America: Schenley High, now apartments. That should be enough of a distinction to place him among our more important architects. He usually worked in a classical style, but he was able to do a very creditable Gothic or Flemish Renaissance.
The successors to Stotz’ firm, MCF Architecture, are still active and claim many prominent Pittsburgh landmarks, including the Point Fountain.
Here is a partial list of his buildings:
| Building | Year |
|---|---|
| Colfax Elementary School, Squirrel Hill | 1911 |
| Fifth Avenue High School, Uptown | 1893 |
| Hartley-Rose Building | 1907 |
| Mercy Hospital | 1926 |
| Monongahela Bank (Wood Street subway station) | 1927 |
| Schenley High School | 1916 |
| St. Kieran’s Church, Lawrenceville | 1907 |
| St. Mary’s Convent, Oakland | 1909 |
| St. Paul’s Orphan Asylum (now Seminary), East Carnegie | 1901 |
