Mud and Long Cabin, Penn Avenue

This old historic building is one of Pittsburgh's first homes. It is located practically in the heart of East Liberty business district, flanked by the more modern type of buildings. Although built in the early part of the nineteenth century, it is in a wonderful state of preservation. The "Mud and Log Cabin," as it is known, gives an idea of what the pioneer settlers homes were like in those days. The house is unoccupied at present. It is now the property of Miss Margaret Forsythe, having been handed down trough several generations.

In the foreground are barges loaded with coal, being transported down the Monongahela River, to one of Pittsburgh's many steel mills. In the center is the giant United States Steel Building, which is surrounded by many other skyscraper office buildings, hotels, stores and manufacturing plants.
