Frick Pittsburgh, also known as the Clayton Mansion, is a historic estate at 7227 Reynolds Street in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It preserves the home of the industrialist Henry Clay Frick, built in the 1890s, together with its carriage house and greenhouse.
What you can see
The estate offers a window onto the Gilded Age, the period of great industrial fortunes in late nineteenth-century America. The mansion, the carriage house and the greenhouse together give a sense of how a wealthy family lived and how the grounds around a large house were run.
What kind of visit it makes
Visits are built around guided tours, which explain the house and the way it was used. Because the site is a preserved estate rather than a gallery of many objects, it suits visitors who are interested in architecture, domestic life and the history of American industry. It is a visit best planned as a focused outing rather than a quick stop.
