The Neill Log House is the oldest domestic log dwelling in Pittsburgh, dated to 1795. It deserves a special place in the city’s and Squirrel Hill’s history and is eminently worth our efforts to restore and reopen it.
The history of the Neill Log House is posted on our “House History Project” link. To directly access the link, click here. NOTE: This link is periodically updated as new information is uncovered about the Neill Log House.
Mission Statement of FONLH
(adopted February 2022)
“We secure funds to restore and maintain the Neill Log House, foster knowledge of its historic significance, and work with interested parties to ensure the continued educational use of the structure and its site for future generations.”
The SHHS and the Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition (SHUC) have formed the Friends of Neill Log House, Inc. (FONLH) to restore and reopen the house for educational purposes. Updates to FONLH’s progress are made periodically. To see the updates, click here.
Please help us rebuild the Neill Log House! We are inviting individuals interested in the history and preservation of the Neill Log House to join our efforts by making personal contributions that will help FONLH move forward, toward the larger goal of securing all the funds ultimately needed for restoration and usage of the Neill Log House.
