It was Pittsburgh’s first modern-day hotel and one of city’s grandest for many years. The hotel became a popular stop-over for many of Pittsburgh’s famous guests, including several who held the office of President of the United States of America. The Monongahela House also played a significant role as part of the historic Underground Railroad.
