The Homes
The homes are red-brick-and-slate-roof townhomes. They are situated in clusters toward interior courtyards with their rears facing the loop roads around the property. The homes do have rear-access integral garages in the basements but these are recessed several feet to greatly reduce the visual impact.
The community is regarded as one of the best-preserved examples of the Garden City concept by city planners, architects, and landscape architects. It is also a National Historic Landmark, on the National Register of Historic Places, and is on the List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks.

Famous quotes containing the word homes:
“Over the water come
Children from homes and childrens parks
Who speak on a finger and thumb,
And the masked, headless boy.”

“Theyll always be looking for us. They wont stop till we die. I dont care. Just so they find us together. If youre thinking of anyone else, dont. It wouldnt work. Youre no good for anyone but me. Youre no good and neither am I. Thats why we deserve each other.”
—Geoffrey Homes (19021977)
