International Harvester Branch House (Pittsburgh)
The Pittsburgh Branch House of the International Harvester Company, now known as the Allegheny Branch House Lofts, is a historic building in the Central Northside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1901–02 by the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, which merged into International Harvester before the building was completed. It was enlarged with a fourth story in 1912–13. The Branch House housed the company's local showrooms, offices, and service department until 1959. The building was used by a printing supply company from 1962 to 2020 and was subsequently repurposed as a residential building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021 and was also listed as a contributing property in the Allegheny Second Ward Industrial Historic District in 2025. The Branch House is a four-story brick building with a "flatiron" plan defined by the acute angle of North Avenue and the Norfolk Southern Railway line. The front elevation is nine bays wide; the westernmost three bays and fourth story were part of the 1913 addition. A former railroad siding along the rear loading dock allowed loading and unloading of equipment. In 2024, the Q Development company restored the building and rebranded it as Allegheny Branch House Lofts. The complex now contains 36 apartments.
