Description: Picture of a house in the Sauer Buildings Historic District located between 607-717 Center Avenue in Aspinwall, Pennsylvania, on November 7, 2009. Designed by Frederick C. Sauer (1860–1942), these buildings were an eccentric and personal project of the Pittsburgh area architect, and made in a style called fantastic architecture. Sauer first built a house and outbuildings for himself on this land around 1898. Though, after remodeling his chicken coop in an eccentric mode in 1928 and 1930, a complex of buildings and landscape features in similar style gradually took shape and was progressively added to by Sauer until his death in 1942. These buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
