The Walton House is a historic building in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A designated Pittsburgh historic landmark, the house and its neighboring structures exemplify the form and scale of buildings constructed in Lawrenceville during the post Civil War era.[1]
The Walton House was built circa 1868 by William and Martha Walton, who emigrated from England and settled in Pennsylvania sometime in the 1860s. During that decade, Walton operated a jewelry store on Market Street in Lawrenceville. The couple's former property also includes the two adjoining houses at 4416 Plummer St. and 152 45th St. All three buildings were built between 1865 and 1872, but 4412–4414 Plummer St. is thought to be the oldest. During the 1870s, part of the property was operated as an inn and tavern.[2]
