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

shortly after the Pennsylvania Turnpike opened.
