Built in 1888 for the Teutonia Männerchor, a German singing society founded in 1854 as an offshoot of the Liederkranz choir, this Romanesque Revival hall in Pittsburgh's Deutschtown neighborhood has served for over a century as a private club devoted to German choral singing and cultural tradition. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
