Abstract

The Darkhouse Lighthouse is a permanent installation in the Troy Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is part of a collection of Art Houses created by art collector Evan Mirapaul. The lighthouse is located in a residential neighborhood and was built in a home that was previously damaged by fire. The artwork aims to highlight the city's history and its connection to the sea, as well as evoke a sense of nostalgia and imagination. The lighthouse is filled with historic items and offers an immersive experience for visitors. The project also incorporates elements of craftwork and architectural repair.
