1800 5th Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15219

Fifth Avenue High School, located at 1800 Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Bluff neighborhood, was a historic Romanesque Gothic Revival building that served the Pittsburgh Public Schools until its closure in 1976. Known for its fireproof construction, the school was home to the Alpha chapter of the National Honor Society and boasted red and white colors with the Archer as its mascot.

After sitting vacant for over thirty years, the building was converted into loft apartments starting in 2009 by a Pittsburgh-based investor group, with construction completed in 2012. Notable alumni include former Mayor Sophie Masloff, Dapper Dan Charities founder Al Abrams, and forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht.
