The area was once known as [[Allegheny, Pennsylvania|Allegheny City]] and operated as its own independent city until 1907, when it was merged with Pittsburgh despite great protest from its citizens. The North Side is primarily composed of residential neighborhoods and is noteworthy for its well-constructed and architecturally interesting homes. Many buildings date from the 19th century and are constructed of brick or stone and adorned with decorative woodwork, ceramic tile, slate roofs and stained glass. The North Side is also home to attractions such as [[Acrisure Stadium]], [[PNC Park]], [[Kamin Science Center]], [[National Aviary]], [[Andy Warhol Museum]], [[Mattress Factory]] art museum, [[Children's Museum of Pittsburgh]], [[Randyland]], [[Penn Brewery]], [[Allegheny Observatory]], and [[Allegheny General Hospital]].<ref>Allegheny City: A History of Pittsburgh's North Side by Dan Rooney and Carol Peterson</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
