McCook Family Estate
About this property
The McCook Family Estate (also known as the Willis McCook House) is a historic mansion located at 5105 Fifth Avenue in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. It was built during 1906 and 1907 for Willis McCook and his family. McCook was a prominent businessman and lawyer who represented Henry Clay Frick. An extensive renovation of the house was completed in 2012, when it opened as a boutique hotel called the "Mansions on Fifth Hotel". It is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. === Placement of this property on local and national historic registries === The house was added to the list of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks in 2009.
