The Vesper Room also has an outdoor dining room that’s centered one of the largest and greenest outdoor seating spaces in the city and centered around our three ton cast iron Windsor Fountain. It’s softly aglow with vintage advertising signs, many from Pittsburgh companies. Brown Methodist Church that once stood on Beechwood Boulevard. The Vesper Room is filled with reclaimed oak paneling and stained glass windows from the demolished Mary S. We’ve repurposed it as a chandelier and use it as our our logo! Here one can also find the original wrought iron elevator door panels from Pittsburgh’s Jenkin’s Arcade that once stood between Penn and Liberty Avenues at Stanwix Street!Ĭrowning The Coffeehouse is a reclaimed church rose window from Our Lady Help of Christian Church that was located in Pittsburgh’s Larimer neighborhood.
We’ve exposed the old brick walls and sandblasted the wooden ceiling beams from the brass foundry days in The Parlour Bar. We’ve blended boundaries through the collaboration of baristas, cooks and bartenders, each offering the best of their respective crafts to create dishes and drinks that are both dependably inventive and comfortingly familiar.
We continue to expand and grow, providing an opportunity to never have the same experience twice after walking through our entry. We’ve since pressed the imagination and the visual journey you will take wandering the nooks and crannies of The Abbey on Butler Street - more than one visit will permit. You will find a cross carved stone at our Butler and Home Street corner that was uncovered during the construction of The Arcade on the northern side of our building (opening someday soon!) Our patio for the Vesper Room operated as stone carving business. At our 47th and Butler Streets corner once stood “Centennial Hall” where the First Primitive Methodist Church was first organized. Hidden for decades, they were the actual ceilings in the original foundry space complete with rusted-out industrial lighting. The wood ceilings in The Coffeehouse and The Parlour Bar were uncovered during our renovation and were found painted white. We respectfully honor the lives and all of loved ones that met here to send off what some refer to as The Greatest Generation. The original portion of our building was constructed as The Wayne Brass Foundry in 1913 and then later renovated into Henninger Funeral Home during the Great Depression.
