| Introduction | Alumni of Harvard, Yale and Princeton had been active in western Pennsylvania for many years, but no one group was large enough to maintain a clubhouse. In 1929, efforts were made to band together and procure a joint headquarters. The small tenement buildings on the corner of William Penn Place and Strawberry Way seemed to offer the best location, combining proximity to many of the larger office buildings with the restful atmosphere of a quiet street. Following many months of extensive reconstruction, the Club opened its doors on November 7, 1930. The Club is registered as a National Historic Landmark and is part of the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation downtown walking tour. It continues to be the last remaining tenement housing from the 1890’s. |
