text: The Priory The Priory is the name for two historic landmarks – the 1852 St. Mary's German Catholic Church and the adjacent 1888 home for Bavarian Benedictine priests and brothers. Once a largely German parish, the church later merged with nearby Italian and Polish congregations.  The church and rectory have since closed. The buildings are operated as a banquet hall and a bed-and-breakfast.
  Penn Brewery
  Although Penn Brewery began in 1987, it is housed in the old Eberhardt & Ober Brewery (1882–1906) buildings. Penn Brewery makes the award-winning Penn Pilsner and a number of other specialty beers. The "tied house" (brewery owned restaurant) features a full German menu and live music.
  Saint Nicholas Church
  Saint Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church, nestled in the hillside above the Allegheny River, was the first Croatian Church built in the United States. The structure was razed in January 2013.
  Ridge Avenue Neighborhood
  Ridge Avenue, in its heyday between 1890 and 1910, was known as "Millionaires' Row". After 20 years, the area began to decline as some residents moved further out. The entire North Side community began to fray after having been annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907.
  Mexican War Streets
  In the late 19th century, Allegheny became known for its stately homes, occupied by some of the area's wealthy families.  One such area became known as The Mexican War Streets.
