Mt. Lebanon Walking Tour
September 28, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Saturday, September 28, 2019
1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Explore one of Mt. Lebanon’s most popular shopping and dining districts, complete with a parklet that was once a turn-around for street cars, an impressive Art Deco municipal building, and a diverse mix of commercial, residential, and educational buildings. Five miles south of Downtown Pittsburgh and accessible by bus and Pittsburgh’s Light Rail (the “T”), Mt. Lebanon developed as one of the nation’s premier automobile suburbs. Participants will hear about the history of the National-Register-listed District along Washington Road and visit The Mount Lebanon Historical Society, housed in a former Spanish Colonial Revival-style home from the 1930s.
