The Old Heidelberg Apartment building in Pittsburgh's east end neighborhood of Park Place was designed by notable architect Frederick G. Scheibler. His client, Robinson and Bruckman, charged him with designing an apartment building that would fit into the neighborhood of private homes. To do this, Scheibler used a steep sheltered roof, timber-framed porches, and a stucco surface to make the building appear as a country house reminiscent of old-world Europe.
