Have you ever noticed how many repurposed buildings we have in Pittsburgh? Just take a look at The Grand Concourse in Station Square, a former train station that’s now a popular seafood restaurant. We’ve also got Church Brew Works, tucked in a former church. If you’re willing to travel a bit further, you’ll discover a charming shop near Pittsburgh that calls a former historic grist mill home.
