| Description | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Bayernhof is the name of the mansion itself, a $4.2 million project completed in 1982 as a private residence by Charles Brown III (1935–1999), founder and CEO of Gas-Lite Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh. The 19,000-square-foot (1,800 m2) house includes a rooftop observatory, an indoor cave, a swimming pool with a 10-foot (3.0 m) waterfall, ten fireplaces, eight full baths, three powder rooms, three full-size kitchens as well as a completely restored copper still. bayernhofmuseum.com: Arrive here and enter through the huge double front doors into the stunning Entry Hall. Proceed to the first floor Family Room, where your eyes will immediately be drawn to the fantastic views overlooking the Allegheny River and the city and mountains beyond. As you look around the room, you will start to get a feel for the house and the music machines and the man who brought them all together. Relax and enjoy a brief history of the building and stories about Charles Boyd Brown, III, known as “Chuck” to his friends, the gentleman who made the Museum a reality. Chuck was truly “one-of-a-kind,” and the captivating stories reflect his eccentric way of living and his most personal method of doing things. The Curator presents a general description of the many unique music machines, most of them over 100 years old, which are housed in the building. The Family Room provides your first opportunity to hear a few of these machines play music from a bygone era. Rooms Family Room |
