Property Description
RARE AMAZING! Make your mark in history as you restore the DROVER HOTEL. In 1796, Franklin Road was laid out from Pittsburgh to Erie primarily used by drovers bringing cattle to the city. In 1840 a hotel was built in the same year Allegheny City was incorporated on land of the reserve tract which was established in 1787 by the State of Pennsylvania to pay its Revolutionary War Debt. In 1788 lots were auctioned. Buyers received a lot IN the commons and a larger parcel OUT of the commons. This OUT land was used for "common grazing" of the horses and cattle with the land not being "organized" until after the Mexican War. Those who lived here saw the history of Allegheny City, its ups, downs, from founding to annexation to Pittsburgh in 1907. People lived here, solved problems impacting the world. Here's one: From Allegheny Observatory "electric time" was created synchronizing railroads across the land. What will be your lasting impact as you bring renewed life to the Drovers Hotel?
