Tucked away on Pittsburgh’s North Side sits Manchester —the city’s largest historic district.

Although the neighborhood went through a period of urban decay in the 1970s — even as it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a City Historic District — Manchester’s grand, turn-of-the-century Victorian homes are being brought back to life thanks to passionate homeowners.

Now, they’re inviting the public to check out their progress.

Sponsored by the Manchester Historic Society, the 2025 Showcase Manchester takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 3. General admission tickets are $30 and can be purchased here.

On the tour, visitors will get to explore at least 10 properties and two gardens. Besides the homes on display, the event will also host food trucks and a variety of local jazz artists.
