What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Lincoln Park is a small Northwest neighborhood adjoining Brighton Heights and Marshall-Shadeland.

Most stock dates to 1920-1960 brick singles and mid-century ranches on engineered footings.

Pittsburgh ADUs — detached, attached, and conversion paths — scoped against Pittsburgh PLI + PA HICPA + 2018 IBC setback + height + parking variances. In Lincoln Park specifically, 1920-1960 brick singles + mid-century brick ranch stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
