While we tend to focus on the architect of a building, we think that the builders of our historic fabric deserve credit as well. Patrick F. Gallagher of Duquesne Construction Company was the builder of St. Agnes Church. Gallagher helped to build many schools and churches in Pittsburgh, including Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Shadyside and St. Boniface Church on the North Side. We will leave you with one of his quotes taken from a speech that he gave:

“The truest evidence of the greatness of people of the past is found in the remains of their buildings.” P. F. Gallagher
