  • Description
  • Westinghouse High School was named for the noted inventor and manufacturer, George Westinghouse, whose home was in the vicinity of the school. The school, located at 1101 North Murtland Avenue, was completed in 1924. In 1932 an annex was built. Architects Ingham and Boyd designed both the original building and the annex. The forerunner of Westinghouse High School was the Brushton High School, which was organized in September 1912. The school remained in the Baxter Building until 1923 when it was transferred to the present site and its name was changed to Westinghouse. One of the entrances to the newer part of the school is a memorial to the boys of Westinghouse High School who lost their lives in World War I. The school serves the East Liberty and Homewood-Brushton sections of Pittsburgh.
