Bellefield Hall
Bellefield Hall is a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark〔(see photo )〕 and is a contributing property to the Schenley Farms Historic District on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh across Bellefield Avenue from Heinz Memorial Chapel and the lawn of the university's Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. A 1924 italianate structure by architect Benno Janssen, it originally served as a Young Men's and Women's Hebrew Association, but now houses rehearsal spaces, classrooms, offices, and a Digital Recording Studio for the University of Pittsburgh's Department of Music, as well as a university gymnasium, fitness center, indoor swimming pool, and a 676-seat auditorium.
==History==
Bellefield Hall, constructed in 1924, was designed by architect Benno Janssen by combining the facades of the Italianate Palzzo Piccolomini delle Papesse in Siena with the 18th-century Lee House at Stratford in Virginia for the Flemish-bond brick finish and the high basement.〔(PHMC Cultural Resources Database )〕 Samuel Yellin was contracted to created the lanterns for the main entrance.〔Toker, Franklin; Pittsburgh: an urban portrait; 1986, Pennsylvania State University Press, pg. 89〕 Bellefield Hall was originally home to the Young Men's and Women's Hebrew Association (Y.M.H.A.), whose patrons included Edgar Kauffman and his family, opened in 1926. Originally, the high profile of its attic hid a flat expanse of roof where Y.M.H.A. patrons could sunbathe in total privacy. It also featured full sports facilities, meeting rooms, and a historic concert hall featuring Spanish stalactite ceiling and Jacobean wall moldings in which a host of music luminaries (including Arthur Rubinstein, Isaac Stern, and Jean-Pierre Rampal) made their Pittsburgh debuts.〔
The building was obtained by the university in a lease-purchase agreement in 1984 and reverted to the full university ownership ten years later. Today, Bellefield Hall is a facility that is home to a variety of University offices and services. For University's the Department of Music, it houses rehearsal spaces, classrooms, graduate student offices, and the William R. Robinson Digital Recording Studio. A recently renovated 676-seat auditorium holds many of the Department of Music's recitals and concerts. Bellefield Hall also houses a sports gym, fitness center, and indoor swimming pool.〔 The second floor fitness center was renovated and expanded in 2005. A classroom specifically designed for African-drumming music was constructed in 2008.〔(Kimberly K. Barlow & Peter Hart, What's New? Places, University Times, Vol 41, No. 1, Aug 28, 2008; University of Pittsburgh, accessdate=2008-28-08 )〕 Bellefield Hall is also home to the Collegiate YMCA at the University of Pittsburgh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Collegiate YMCA at the University of Pittsburgh )〕
