Heathside Cottage, located at 416 Catoma Street, was constructed between 1864-66 for the prominent masonry contractor Col. James Andrews when Fineview was still a sparsely populated hillside in Allegheny City. The Gothic Revival cottage is one of the finest examples of this particular style remaining in Pittsburgh.
Heathside Cottage is significant because of its exquisite use of early Gothic Revival design, its association with a nationally-renowned mason Col. James Andrews, and that it is a prominent visual feature in Fineview and the City.
