Rogers gained worldwide recognition thanks to “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” which aired from 1968-2001.
Rogers passed away in 2003 at age 74. His widow died in January.
Allison Shin, who is selling the house, told Coldwell Banker she had heard the Rogers had once owned the house, but never had much proof, Next Pittsburgh reported.
According to the Allegheny Real Estate Portal, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner owned the 3,693-square-foot home prior to Shin.
