UPMC East Construction...was Howard Johnsons Palace Inn Monroeville Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

[chamben]

The folks that designed the new healthcare facility reused and/or recycled the entire Palace Inn in some way. For example, most of the concrete was turned into aggregate and used onsite. So it really only changed forms - but it's still there.

Probably two years or so before they leveled it

Wow come to think of it, so was mine in 1974!!! They had a "pong" game in the lobby--thought it was really cool!

[neurodistortion]

Wow, there goes that sucker. Reminds me how they utterly demolished Greengate Mall a few years back.
