Touring the Westinghouse Castle in Wilmerding, PA. Truly historic and beautiful.
🏰 A Little History of Westinghouse Castle
Perched in Wilmerding, Pennsylvania, the Westinghouse Castle is a historic architectural gem that once served as the crown jewel of industrial innovation. Built in 1890 and expanded in 1896, the building was designed by renowned architect Frederick J. Osterling in the Romanesque Revival style, resembling a European medieval castle—complete with turrets, gargoyles, and stained-glass windows.
The castle was originally the General Office Building of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company (WABCO), founded by inventor George Westinghouse. Westinghouse revolutionized railroad safety with his invention of the air brake, and Wilmerding became a booming company town centered around the plant and the castle offices.
More than just a corporate headquarters, the castle reflected Westinghouse’s progressive ideas—offering landscaped grounds, artistic detail, and amenities for employees, making it one of the first workplaces in America to blend industrial function with architectural beauty.
