Caption: The Blockhouse Used as a Dwelling
Additional Description: Around 1795 the Blockhouse was incorporated into a dwelling house and remained so until 1894 when the property came to the DAR as a gift from Mary Schenley, "Pittsburgh's Fairy Godmother." Before the blockhouse became DAR property, the "Coll. Bouquet, 1764" plaque (visible in this image) was removed and installed in the wall of the staircase of City Hall. The DAR successfully petitioned the Council for the return of the plaque to its current location. Image from Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt, 1899 by the Pittsburgh DAR.
