It is the hilliest large city in the US, and the location of this abandoned restaurant is probably the most prime example of the beauty the steep terrain has to offer. Perched atop a high ridge across one of the two large rivers from downtown, it has an incredible view of the city. It's hard to believe the place has gone this long without being redeveloped as luxury condos or a tourist attraction. This abandoned building looks like a small school from the street; however the inside indicates that the building was a very nice upscale restaurant. Awesome view of the city. My parents once overheard somebody say they had taken one of the funiculars up the bluff in Pittsburgh, and eaten at the best Italian restaurant they had ever been to at the top. This almost has to be the place, as it is less than a block from the top of the more-frequented funicular. There are several active restaurants with views a mile or so down the street.  Basic Information Type: Building Status: Demolished Accessibility: Easy Recommendation: forget it  Physical Information Address Grandview Avenue, atop Mt. Washington Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania United States Owner: Unknown See a map of this location  Hazards rust unsafe flooring Don't fall down the cliff! Squats to be found inside, tenants may be hostile.  Interesting Features Great view of downtown Pittsburgh, mirrors on the ceiling, rather unique interior. Kind of confusing to get out of certain areas and into others. Update (5/17/2012) - The building is completely gone, demolished about 6 months ago.  Security Measures barbed wire wooden boarding right next to one of the inclines, which run intil midnight (1am on weekends), so be careful that you're not seen!  Historical Dates Built: 0 Closed: 0  Required Equipment flashlight gloves  Recommended Equipment Camera (of course)  History Frankly, I haven't looked into it. From the outside, the building looks like an old school. It was converted into a gourmet restaurant later on, and abandoned sometime prior to 2000. It looks like they tried to renovate it into a hotel because there area bunch of rooms with kitchens and bathrooms in them. It would have been a really high class hotel because the view is AMAZING!!!  Media Coverage http://pittsburgh....ington-restaurant/  Future Plans None - Gone  Stories hahaha Thu, Mar 15th, 2007 posted by eoghan Add your own story  Photo Galleries Restaurant with a view, 2002 Sun, Jan 23rd, 2005 posted by Slim Jim 20 pictures A couple shots of Pittsburgh At Night Wed, Jul 27th, 2005 posted by munkyfistfight 7 pictures Ghosts of the past...
