James Andrews

James Andrews (October 7, 1828 – July 6, 1897) was a Scottish-American stonemason, engineer, and capitalist who collaborated with civil engineer James Buchanan Eads on such projects as the Eads Bridge in St. Louis, the Mississippi River jetties, and a proposed railway system across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. He was reportedly a millionaire by the end of his life, having accrued a fortune of at least $32 million in 2022 dollars. The estate was named in reference to Ingleston, a town in Scotland owned by Andrews' father. Andrews died at Ingleside Place on July 6, 1897, of a kidney ailment. The estate was left abandoned and later sold by the Andrews' heirs to the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh in 1941.
