Picture of Negley-Gwinner-Harter House (also known as Gwinner-Harter House, and William B. Negley House), located at 5061 Fifth Avenue in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on December 4, 2009. The house was built from 1870 to 1871 for William B. Negley (June 5, 1828 - January 16, 1894, a lawyer who attended Princeton University, served as a Major in the American Civil War under General James S. Negley, and was the son of Jacob Negley and the nephew of Sarah Negley and Thomas Mellon). After Joanna Wilmerding (Bruce) Negley, the widow of William B. Negley, died in 1910, Edward Gwinner, a stone and railroad contractor, purchased the property in 1911. Gwinner had it remodeled and expanded. Original architect: Unknown, but Frederick J. Osterling remodeled the house and was responsible for additions between 1912 and 1923. Gwinner died in 1949, and his widow, Adele, owned it until 1963, when the house was sold to Dr. Leo Harter. In 1987, a fire caused by a paint-stripping gun during renovation burned much of the third floor and damaged the roof. Harter died in 1988, and the house sat vacant for eight years, was boarded up, and had even been considered for demolition. Then in 1995, restoration contractor Joedda Sampson and her husband Ben, a builder and developer, purchased the property and restored it. The restoration took nine months. In 2002, the house was purchased by Kenneth Lehn and Marina Persic Lehn. According to the Allegheny County Pennsylvania Real Estate Assessment Page[1], the house's estimated previous year market value was $1,110,800. Architectural style: Second Empire. The house is on the List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks.
