The Fort Pitt Hotel, located at Penn Avenue at Tenth Street on the eastern edge of Pittsburgh’s Golden Triangle, was once considered one of Pittsburgh’s most elegant hotels. The structure was built in two sections; the eight-story section at Tenth and Penn Avenue was designed by Alden and Harlow and constructed in 1905. The eleven-story tower addition, designed by Janssen and Abbott, was constructed in 1909. The building featured the Norse Room, which was decorated entirely of Rockwood tiles featuring large wall panels depicting Longfellow’s poem, “The Skeleton in Armor.” The room, designed by John Dee Wareham, was finished in 1909 at a cost of $85,000. Some of the guests that stayed at the hotel were William Jennings Bryan, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Stepin Fetchit, Jack Benny and Rochester, and Gene Sarazen. The Fort Pitt Hotel was razed in 1967 to make way for the Penn Park redevelopment project.
