Make history with your event at the Old Stone Church

The Old Stone Church, gleaming in the sun on its island of green, looks serenely down on modern urbanized Monroeville all around it; an enduring monument to simpler times. Located in the center of the community, the building is Monroeville’s most distinctive landmark. The church is owned by the Municipality of Monroeville and has been placed under the stewardship of the Monroeville Historical Society who oversees its preservation, and makes it available to the public for weddings, meetings and special events.

The Penn Mor Hotel and Restaurant. The Amantea family (bothers Joe, George, Albert, and Adam) built and ran the Penn Mor Hotel at the southern end of Mosside Blvd. The building was erected in 1947 as a hotel for workers who needed convenient rooms and meals. The restaurant expanded to serve a heavy volume of lunch-time customers from local businesses (Westinghouse Printing in Trafford, Westinghouse Electric, etc) with favorites being Hot Sausage on Bun and Pasta dishes. Eventually the brothers expanded the building to included banquet facility with large ballrooms (first and second floors) for dances, wedding receptions, and conferences. The business was sold in 1957.
