Square Garden, by the West Penn AAA has A Look at saved a grand and conspicuous building of 1900. For some years, now, the old George East Liberty K. Stevenson Building has housed an art gallery. Numerous other business buildings have had facade renovations, in three cases through the City's Streetface program matching grants. Eldevco is acting as a sales and leasing agent for property owners, and ELDI is currently at work with various neighborhood groups to rehabilitate vacant houses for single ownership. It appears, too, that the most conspicuous object in the neighborhood, the East Liberty Presbyterian Church, houses an increasingly-thriving institution, one ofdirect benefit to the neighborhood and ofindirect benefit, toq in is very display of activity.
