  • Description
  • Among the oldest structures in Monroeville, this house was originally built by Abraham Taylor as a stagecoach inn at the first coach stop out of Pittsburgh, located near the tollgate of the Northern Turnpike. It is said that stage drivers, leaving the inn and heading east in the early morning, found they were often driving directly into a blazing sun, hence the name – “Rising Sun Inn”. The house was in the Warner family for several generations, and today has been modernized as a physician’s office.
