This mansion was completed in 1904 and sits atop Mount St. George. It was originally the home and working farm of James B. Vandergrift, a Pittsburgh steel heir. The estate cost a million dollars to build and included an indoor pool, ball rooms, horse racing tracks, a pit for cockfights, 500 acres for hunting, tennis courts, bowling alleys, and many other things to entertain his guests during his many extravagant parties he held there. Out of nowhere Vandergrift left the estate just years after it's completion leaving it vacant until 1922 when the Knights of St. George acquired it and turned it into a home for aging clergy and friends.
