  • Description
  • The East Liberty Youth Advance singing at the Kingsley House in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood. The Kingsley House, founded in 1893 by Dr. George Hodges, was named in honor of Christian Socialist and Oxford University student, Charles Kingsley who, along with Frederick Dennison Maurice, founded the settlement house movement in the East End section of London. The Kingsley House opened Christmas Day, 1893 to immigrant workers in Pittsburgh’s Strip District section. The Kingsley House provided cultural, educational, and social programs including boy’s and girl’s clubs, lectures, concerts, reading classes, and literary societies. In 1917 the Kingsley House became known as the Kingsley Association, and in 1923 the house moved to Larimer Avenue in East Liberty where it still serves the community to this day.
