Andy Warhol's family home doesn't have the cache of William Burrough's home, which received a historic designation in Lawrence, Kansas last month. Warhol's home is fourth on the Young Preservationists Association of Pittsburgh's list of the "Top Ten Best Historic Preservation Opportunities in the Pittsburgh Area for 2005." Oakland Planning and Development Corporation (OPDC) recently purchased the home for $1,000, plus related costs. The intention, says David Blenk, director of OPDC, is to restore the home and lease it to art students studying at Carnegie Mellon University.
Rene Ricard and Victor Bockris, former members of Andy's posse, continue to make their home at the historically land marked Chelsea Hotel.
In a December 2003 interview Bockris discusses Andy.
