  • A Banquet at the Hotel Henry

    Dinner to Pittsburgh News-Writers at the Hotel Henry, September 22, 1904.
    From The Builder, October, 1904, p. 17.

    The Hotel Henry was on Fifth Avenue; it was replaced in 1951 by the Mellon Bank Building (525 Fifth Avenue). Here we see a huge banquet for the newspapermen of Pittsburgh in 1904, which incidentally gives us a look at the posh appointments of the banquet hall.

    Hotel Henry at some time around 1900, from the Historic Pittsburgh site. Note that the offices of the Leader are two doors up from the hotel; those reporters didn’t have far to walk for dinner.
