Neill Log House

The Neill Log House, located in Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, is the oldest existing residential structure in the city, dating back to the late 18th century. Attributed to Robert Neill, the cabin's construction is estimated between 1779 and 1794, coinciding with Neill's ownership and significant land improvements. The house has historical significance, having been part of a tract owned by Ambrose Newton and later sold to Neill, who was a Revolutionary War veteran. The structure has undergone restoration and was designated a historic landmark in 1970. Visitors can explore its rich history and the ongoing discussions about its name, which has variations including Neal and Neill, reflecting the complexities of historical record-keeping.
