Fred Rogers and his wife, Joanne, lived in the 3,700-square-foot century-old brick home in the late 1950s and early 1960s, according to a 1961 alumni newsletter from Rogers’ undergraduate alma mater, Rollins College. Rogers attended Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and worked as a composer, organist and puppeteer on “The Children’s Corner” at WQED during the time he lived there, according to local publication Next Pittsburgh, which first reported the listing. The Post was unable to determine the exact dates of Rogers’ residency, because online real estate records available online do not date back past 1986. 13 The covered and tiled entryway Realtor.com, Melissa Carter at Eleven Photography The wholesome home has a large concrete porch with French doors, and in the backyard, a basketball hoop hovers over a driveway leading to a two-car garage, Realtor.com listing photos show.

The adjoining dining room opens into a long alcove used as a library, according to the listing. 14 This long alcove with windows has built-in shelving to create a library.
