purchased two adjoining houses to accommodate additions to the Hall, for which $27,000.00 was expended for improvements. The 100-year Centennial was celebrated in 1954, and on May 16th that year a banquet was held in the upper Sängerhall as well as a concert at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Music Hall on Saturday, June 12, 1954. At the time there were 897 members, including 65 singers in the Male Chorus and 45 singers in the Ladies Chorus. In 1979, Teutonia celebrated its 125th anniversary, and Seven German Coats of Arms were donated to the club. The crests designate various areas of Germany and are now permanent fixtures on the walls of the upstairs Sängerhall. Many improvements were made during the 1980s and 1990s. All outside walls were restored, air conditioning was added to the upstairs Sängerhall and kitchen, and bar equipment was replaced. In very recent years members have erected an outdoor Biergarten adjacent to the structure to enhance the club's social gathering opportunities.
