St. George Syrian Antiochian Orthodox Church
This small yellow brick church, topped with a traditional orthodox onion dome, served as a spiritual home for Pittsburgh's Syrian, Lebanese, and Palestinian communities from 1917 to 1959. It was during this time that August Wilson, who wrote the famous "Pittsburgh Cycle," frequently spent time on the chapel steps with other Hill District youth.
Following the congregation's move to Oakland in 1959, various Protestant groups used the church as a space for worship.
