Nestled in the Laurel Highlands is the 1913 Linden Hall mansion, built for Sarah Cochran at a cost of $2 million. Sarah was the widow of coal and coke pioneer Philip Cochran.
Much of the original furniture was imported for Sarah Cochran by Joseph Hornes of Pittsburgh.
The mansion contains 35 rooms, 13 baths, and 27 fireplaces.
The mansion was purchased and restored in 1976 by the United Steel Workers of America.
Unique designs and art work adorn the mansion walls.
Linden Hall is on the National Register of Historic Places. Tours are no longer available but Linden Hall and Conference Center serves as a training center for Steelworkers.
Upon Sarah's death Linden Hall was left to her brother Herbert Moore and his wife. The Moore's lived here for a time and later sold the property to Joe Breskin. Breskin eventually sold the mansion to The Order of St. Basil the Great. Joseph Bracco of Pittsburgh purchased it after this and turned it into a country club. In 1976, The United Steel Workers acquired the property.
Lastly, the finished basement contains a walk-in clothes day and indoor bowling alley.
