For over 25 years, Anderson Manor has been a pillar of service in the greater Pittsburgh community, dedicated to uplifting underrepresented minorities through education, mentorship, and community support.

But its legacy of empowerment dates back much further. Originally built circa 1830 and expanded in 1905, Anderson Manor—formerly known as the James Anderson House—has played a significant role in shaping Pittsburgh’s history. Colonel James Anderson, its former resident, famously opened his personal library of 400 books to working boys, including Andrew Carnegie, who credited this act of generosity as instrumental in his early development. Anderson’s efforts helped establish the first library in the area, fostering a spirit of education and opportunity that continues today. The house was officially recognized as a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark in 1989.

At Anderson Manor, we continue this tradition of education, empowerment, and service by:
✅ Providing scholarships to college-bound students, ensuring access to higher education.
✅ Offering year-round mentoring and educational programs for youth and families.
✅ Supporting families in need during Thanksgiving and Christmas, spreading hope and joy.

From its historic past to its mission-driven present, Anderson Manor remains a beacon of opportunity and community impact. Join us in continuing this legacy!
