Feeling Nebby with @HousesOfPittsburgh is back, and this time, we’re exploring an architectural gem in Wilkinsburg. Gabe opened the doors of his restored 1910 home, designed by Frederick G. Scheibler Jr., a visionary who left a lasting impression on Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods and suburbs.Scheibler’s career spanned five decades and nearly 150 commissions. His designs drew inspiration from Art Nouveau, the Viennese Secession and the Arts and Crafts Movement. While his work can also be admired in Swissvale, Point Breeze, Oakmont and Squirrel Hill, this Wilkinsburg home stands out for Scheibler’s ability to combine functionality with style.When Gabe acquired the property, it was in a dire state, abandoned and overwhelmed by hoarding. What others might have dismissed as a lost cause, Gabe saw as a labor of love. His dedication to preserving the home’s character is evident in every detail. He salvaged much of the original woodwork, windows and fireplaces. This wasn’t just about fixing up an old house, it was about honoring the craftsmanship and vision that Scheibler put into his designs.For those who appreciate history and design, Gabe’s home is an inspiration. It reminds us that every structure has a story worth uncovering and that with enough love and effort, even the most forgotten places can become something extraordinary.Stay tuned for more episodes of Feeling Nebby with @HousesOfPittsburgh as we uncover the stories behind Pittsburgh’s unique homes and the people who bring them to life.The post Feeling Nebby in an architectural gem in Wilkinsburg appeared first on NEXTpittsburgh.
