Regarding The Dilworth School. The Dilworth School was designed by architects Martin U. Vrydaugh and Thomas B. Wolfe three years after the Pittsburgh and Allegheny City school boards where merged. The building is brick, H-shaped, and 2 1/2 stories high. It was a consciously elegant design, stylistically unique in the city when built, echoing European school designs. An auditorium was added in 1927 and was well designed for its intended use with a full stage, and directly accessible without entering the main portion of the school. The Dilworth School was added to the National Register
