Titus de Bobula

Titus de Bobula emigrated to the United States around 1897, living and working at times in New York City and Marietta, Ohio.

The church's twin towers, which rise 125 feet, are composed of white brick in a Greek cruciform pattern set into sandstone.

His last building in Greater Pittsburgh was St. Peter and St. Paul Russian Greek-Catholic (now Ukrainian Orthodox) Church in Carnegie, Pennsylvania.

On Nov. 10, 1923, the front page of the New York Times read: "Titus De Bobula Jailed in Budapest: Husband of Mrs. C. M. Schwab's Niece Arrested for Plot to Overthrow (Hungarian) Government."

By the 1930s, he had returned to the U.S. and, as Nikola Tesla biographer Marc Seifer describes, was "hired to design the tower, power plant, and housing for the inventor's 'impenetrable shield between nations'"-a visionary electronic defence system.
