History and architectural features
Originally an elementary school that was named Colfax No. 5, this historic building was subsequently renamed as the Wightman School in honor of Thomas Wightman, the owner of the Thomas Wightman Glass Company. The school operated from the time of its opening in 1897 until it was closed by the Pittsburgh Public Schools in June 1980.

Since 1981, this 40,000-square-foot space has been used as a community building, serving as the home base for several small businesses and nonprofit organizations.
