 residence, historical layer / disappeared object

Former location of "Eagle Rock" which was the summer estate of Henry Clay Frick of Pittsburgh which was located at 453 Hale Street. The grand Eagle Rock was designed by Little & Browne of Boston in the neo-Georgian style with decoration by Cottier & Co. Frick collected 17th and 18th century bronze and porcelain to add to its collection; a major departure from the style of their main home.

"Eagle Rock" included features only a man of Frick's means could build, such as a "plunge bath" that could be filled with either fresh or salt water, at a warm or cold temperature, as desired. The estate no longer stands. The family wing of the enormous structure was razed in 1939, and the remainder was torn down in 1969. The collection from the home was added to the collection at "Clayton".
