Historical Mt. Lebanon
The Mt. Lebanon Women’s Club Building, located adjacent to the Mt. Lebanon Park on Holly Drive, was the headquarters for the Women’s Club. The building, pictured here in July 1952, was often used for social events such as weddings and other kinds of receptions. After standing unoccupied for some years, the building was sold and is used today as a private residence.
As part of its programming for schools, WQED-TV, the first educational television station in the United States, broadcast lessons covering several subjects. Teacher Alvin Stuart, pictured here on the television screen, teaches a lesson in arithmetic to students of Saint Bernard’s Elementary School in Mt. Lebanon. The date of this image is unknown.

When the bulk of a magazine features old photos, it can be a bit challenging to find a specific category or theme for old photos on the back page – because somehow, each category evolves into its own story. So we reached out to our friends at the Senator John Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, and they shared some old images of Mt. Lebanon with us. Enjoy!
