366 Lincoln Avenue

The monumental Classical Revival home located on the northeast corner of Lincoln and North Fremont (formerly Thomas) Avenues was built in 1902 for Andrew S. Miller (1844-1920), prominent attorney and patriarch of the family that occupied the house between 1902 and 1915. The house later functioned as a funeral home from 1938 until 2001 and recently was fully restored and transformed into a fine dining restaurant known as Revival on Lincoln. The reported cost to build the Andrew S. Miller House in 1902 was $14,000 which equals over $400,000 in 2018 dollars. The Andrew S. Miller House exhibits many of the defining features of the Classical Revival style, most clearly expressed in the front facade which faces Lincoln Avenue but also found on the other exterior elevations and throughout the first floor of the interior. It is one of the most architecturally distinguished buildings in a community that contains a large number of early twentieth century single-family, middle-class homes. It is among the very few documented architectdesigned single family homes in Bellevue. The building’s monumental appearance and its position on a prominent corner lot at the intersection of two important streets clearly were intended to make a statement about the affluence and social standing of its owner. In contrast to many of the other large turn-of-the-century homes in the community which have been altered or divided into apartments over 24the years, the Andrew S. Miller House is virtually intact. The owners strongly believe in the importance of stewardship of the property, and they intend to seek a preservation easement with Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation to protect the building in perpetuity. Revival on Lincoln is rooted in an effort to revitalize Bellevue. The owners have taken one of Lincoln Avenue's most visible, historic and blighted properties and restored it for the next chapter in its life. Finding a suitable adaptive re-use of the building was a key part of this project. The property was envisioned to provide public enjoyment and to act as a community asset as a fine dining restaurant and bar. The magnificent building, built in 1902, will set the stage for an equally impressive culinary experience of flavor, creativity and locally-sourced seasonal cuisine. Revival on Lincoln aspires to be one of Pittsburgh’s next great culinary destinations. The owners strive to create a small business built on the foundation of inclusiveness, fair wages, economic development, and complementing the existing businesses on the historic Lincoln Avenue main street.
