Original Monongahela House (site)
44 Market Street
Brownsville, PA 15417This is the location of the original Monongahela House. It was built in 1832 by Samuel Krepps and converted to a hotel in 1844. It was razed in 1911 and a new hotel was built. Iin 1923 the building was sold and it was converted to a bank. In 1925, a new hotel opened to the left of the bank. A third floor enclosed bridge connected the new hotel with the old hotel.
From Searight's The Old Pike (1894):
The Monongahela House, a short distance west of the Clark House, on the south side, was originally and for many years the private residence of Samuel J. Krepps. It has been probably fifty years since this house was thrown open to the public as a tavern. One of the McCurdy's was first installed as landlord of this house. He was succeeded by Jesse Hardin, an old stage driver, and Isaac Bailey, William Gans, Ephraim H. Bar, Cyrus L. Conner and John B. Krepps, son of the owner, kept this house nearly, if not exactly, in the order given. It was a stage house, and had a large run of general custom. It continues to be one of the leading hotels of Brownsville, under the management of David Provins.
