Edward Stotz

Born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania in 1868, now commonly known as the North Side of Pittsburgh, Stotz spent a brief time in Europe before setting up shop in his home region in 1893. ==Career==

Stotz established the architecture firm that is now MacLachlan, Cornelius, & Filoni, holding the presidency of the Pennsylvania State Association of Architects, a forerunner to the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Institute of Architects, while designing numerous school buildings, churches, and other buildings of interest along the way. He was also the father of architect and photographer Charles M. Stotz, who was also an advocate for preservation of historic structures in and around the city. Some noted regional examples of Stotz's work include Schenley High School in the Oakland neighborhood, Fifth Avenue High School, St. Kieran Church, and Church of the Epiphany near the Bluff section of the city, and the Oakmont golf course clubhouse in Plum borough. He was the great-grandfather of Andrew Stotz. ==Buildings==
