  • Description
  • Fifth Avenue School was named for the street that was located directly in front of it. The school, located at 1800 Fifth Avenue, was designed by architect Edward Stotz in 1895. Fifth Avenue High School was one of the first high school buildings in the City of Pittsburgh when it opened in 1896. The structure was built and furnished at a cost of about $243,000. The western part of the building housed the Board of Education executive offices, while the eastern end contained the training school for new teachers. In 1926 an annex that contained an auditorium, two gymnasiums, and a swimming pool was added to the school. In 1928 the school became a Junior-Senior High School and in 1976, Fifth Avenue Junior-Senior High School closed and the property was sold to the City of Pittsburgh. The students were subsequently transferred to Brashear High School.
