Abstract
The double house on the corner of Cedar Avenue and Foreland Street, facing Allegheny Commons on the North Side, has been through a lot in 175 years: home to large families and boarders, but also operating as an undertaking business and a grocery store. Now the two houses are being totally renovated and will become one. This good fortune came about through a series of events, beginning with the worst power blackout in U.S. history.
