Original Penn-Lincoln Hotel map brochure, printed more than 80 years ago.

  • It promotes travel on the newly-completed Pennsylvania Turnpike, labeled the "Wonder Highway of the World" on the front cover.


  • The rear cover has a charming Art-Deco map of the Pittsburgh area, locating the Liberty Tubes, Kennywood Amusement Park, Edgewood Country Club, Pitt Stadium, Forbes Field, Schenley Park, and the Penn-Lincoln Hotel.


  • The brochure opens to 9¼" x 12¼" and includes an area road map with an illustration of the Penn-Lincoln Hotel.


  • The Penn-Lincoln, which advertised itself as Pittsburgh's Modern Suburban Hotel, had opened in 1927 with 120 guest rooms. It was later converted into apartments and offices, but has since been abandoned and demolished.


  • Condition:  This brochure is in very good, lightly used condition, bright and clean, with no marks or writing. Please take a look at the scans and feel free to ask any questions.


  • The brochure is undated and was printed circa 1941, shortly after the Pennsylvania Turnpike opened.
