A century of distinction on Pittsburgh’s most exclusive street
Set on roughly 1.2 acres of completely flat, park-like grounds along Woodland Road, this rare Alden & Harlow residence — the architects of the Duquesne Club and the Carnegie Library — represents the distinguished architecture that defined Pittsburgh’s East End at the turn of the century.
Colonial Revival design with Georgian influences — classic symmetry, proportion, and craftsmanship at the scale of a true private estate, moments from Chatham’s campus and its greenspace, yet a world away from the city.

The only double lot on Woodland Road
112 Woodland sits on the only true double lot in the community — roughly 1.2 completely flat acres with two ways in. The main approach arrives from Woodland Road, and a private gate comes and goes directly from Shady Avenue.
The Architects
Alden & Harlow
The Carnegie Institute. The Carnegie Library. The Duquesne Club. The firm behind these Pittsburgh landmarks — Alden & Harlow — designed this house. They trained under H. H. Richardson, the most celebrated American architect of his century, and became the first choice of the city’s leading families.
The firm’s original drawings for this house still exist, titled in their own hand: “House for Mr. W. S. Elliott — Woodland Road — Pittsburgh.” Very few of their homes remain — this is one of them.

The Possibilities
Roughly 1.2 completely flat acres in the middle of the city. Here is what that much land makes possible.
A Court of Your Own
The same flat acre turns into a croquet lawn in an afternoon, with room for a tennis court later. The land is waiting.
Build a Compound
The second lot has room for a guest house designed to match the 1922 original. Parents and grown children on one estate, each household with its own rooms and its own privacy.
Host Lavish Events
A dinner for eighty on the lawn. A reception that starts in the foyer and spills outside. The flat acre makes a tent easy, and the Shady Avenue gate makes valet parking simple.
Room for a Pool
The backyard is flat, sunny, and private. The ground is already level, so a pool fits naturally. Set it near the loggia, and summer runs straight from the kitchen to the water.
