Frederick J. Osterling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frederick John Osterling (b.1865 in Duquesne, Pennsylvania – d.1934 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) was an accomplished architect, particularly in the Pittsburgh region of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Osterling received his architectural training from Joseph Stillburg. Following a period of European travel, he launched his own office in 1888. He went on to design many great buildings, such as the Union Trust Building in 1915-17. According to Martin Aurand, Osterling's practice faltered after controversy relating to his anticipated alteration to the landmark Richardson Allegheny County Courthouse and a public lawsuit filed by Henry Clay Frick.
