Maximilian Nirdlinger was my grandfather, and he was the original architect of this theater. I am doing a lot of legacy research about his works, which drew me to this site. Almost all of his work – residential and commercial – was built in Pittsburgh. His early career began in the office of Frank Furness in Philadelphia, and an early commission lead him to Pittsburgh, thereafter.
