Around 1820, William " Killymoon " Steward built one of the first tavern / inns in the area.
His tavern, located near the intersection of Beechwood and Brown's Hill Road, survived for over 100 years.
Slowly, Squirrel Hill became a prosperous and affluent suburb.
By the 1860s, the area along Fifth Avenue near Woodland Road had several mansions, including Willow Cottage.
The cottage was built by the industrialist and civic leader Thomas M. Howe, a bank president and member of the U. S. House of Representatives from 1851 to 1855.
Though neglected for many years and almost torn down, Willow Cottage has recently undergone a $ 2. 2 million restoration and renovation into a Chatham University gatehouse and guesthouse.
