  • Description
  • Contains a detailed review of the history, age, and ownership of 840 North Lincoln Avenue, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Robert and Martha Graham built the building between 1861 and 1863. It was one of the first houses built on North Lincoln Avenue following the 1858 subdivision of land bounded by Ridge, Allegheny, and Western Avenues and Brighton Road. The 1858 subdivision of the Irwin rope walk property created the lot on which the building stands, and the street itself. Martha Jane "Mattie" Graham, a daughter of Robert and Martha, lived in the house for years after her parents deaths. She was prominent as one of the first female public school principals in Pittsburgh, serving between about 1872 and 1912. Harry and Margaret Teufel bought the property in 1917 and had the house remodeled. The home has now had a total of 19 owners.
