Father Pitt

Why should the beautiful die?


The Schenley, Newly Built

From Our Cities, Picturesque and Commercial, a souvenir book of Pittsburgh and Allegheny published in 1898, the year the Hotel Schenley was built. Except for the sensitively matched addition in the front and the loss of the cornice, the building looks much the same today.

Note the big expanse of nothing on the hill to the right. That was still open land belonging to Mary Schenley when the hotel was built.
