Monongahela House

The Monongahela House was located on Smithfield Street between First Avenue and Water Streets (now Fort Pitt Boulevard) in downtown Pittsburgh. The Monongahela House was built between 1839 and 1840 as Pittsburgh's premier hotel. It was destroyed in the 1845 Great Fire and subsequently rebuilt. It was five stories high and had over 200 rooms, and a banquet hall that could accommodate 1500 persons. Among its famous guests were President Jackson, President Lincoln, President Teddy Roosevelt, Charles Dickens, and King Edward VII. The Monongahela House was razed in the early 1920s.
