  • Description
  • Contains a detailed review of the history, age, and ownership of 935 Beech Avenue, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Joseph Klee and his wife, Rosa Klee, had the row of houses (now known as Klee Row) at 927-935 Beech Avenue built in 1884-1885. Klee Row was built in the Second Empire style, as shown in its mansard roof. The houses' smooth-cut stone sills and lintels and brick corbels are typical of late Second Empire houses, built in Pittsburgh beginning in the mid-1880s. The houses display the secondary influence of the Queen Anne style in their dormers, with steep roofs and ornamented vergeboards, and in their fishscale roof shingles. Joseph and Rosa Klee lived at 927 Beech Avenue on Klee Row. The first occupants of 935 Beech Avenue were Max Klein, a wholesale liquor dealer, and his family. Isaac G. and Amanda Klee Trauerman lived there between 1892 and 1897. In the early 20th century, the home housed some of the pastors of Calvary United Methodist Church at Beech and Allegheny Avenues. The Rev. George W. Izer lived there at the time of the 1900 census. The house was occupied by the families of the Rev. James M. Thoburn in 1910 and the Rev. William Baumgartner in 1920.
