Regarding Third Presbyterian Church. The current chapel and sanctuary were built between 1897-1903 and include six stained glass windows produced by Tiffany Studios and three designed by William Willet. The sanctuary has been placed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks in part due to the iron hardware and hinges on the sanctuary doors that still open onto 5th Avenue. The more recent social hall and office wing were completed in 1959. Third Presbyterian Church was designated a Pittsburgh Historic Landmark in 1973.
