Mellon Mansion
Rebuilt As A
Catholic Church
By ELAINE KAHN
AP Feature*
NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. —
The fabulous Richard B. Mellon
mansion of Pittsburgh, torn down
in 1940, has risen again—as the
Catholic church of St. Peter, on
a hilPop overlooking this indus
trial community.
The house, once owned by the
Pittsburgh banlfler-brother of
former Secretary of Treasury
Andrew Mellon, was dismantled
after the city of Pittsburgh re
fused to accept it as a gift that
involved waiving the $19,000 year
ly taxes.
Father Nicola Fusco, large,
stocky, 55-year-old priest, long
had urged a new church because
old St. Peter’s was cramped with
its growing congregation.
A former ward working for the
Mellons finally persuaded him to
visit the house, and out of that
visit came the new St. Peter’s.
A wrecking crew, paid by the
church, dismantled the 65-room
mansion, and for six months
trucks hauled it piece by piece
the 20 miles from Pittsburgh to
New Kensington.
But Father Fusco, with his love!
for fine marbles and sculpture,
removed these objects himself j
with the help of his building su
perintendent.
Every one of the 5,500 of the
congrgeation had a hand in the
building, and doctors and lawyers
labored beside the workmen of
the parish.
The mansion’s brown stone was
used for the outside, and red j
granite foundation stones became1
steps tp ‘he entrance. Nothing was
thrown away. Even the carved
oak panels ol' the dining room
were turned into confession
booths.
St. Peter’s will be dedicated the
Fourth of July.
Then Fa‘her Fusco and his
flock will go to work again. They
had enough material left over to
build a school and a rectory,
