Built in 1964 and was originally a Howard Johnson, it became known as the Pittsburgh North Motor Lodge in 1985/86.
In 2012, the owner of the former motel got the OK to begin renovating the site.
But in later years, he asked the township to remove his name off the property and agree to have it demolished in return of having the ordinance violations put against him, removed, despite damages to the roof of the building, theft of copper pipes, graffiti and other damage caused by vandals as the township defined the former motel, as “uninhabitable.”
2024 Update: NOW DEMOLISHED.
Please take note of the sentences shown at the bottom of the video during scenes.

It's crazy how clean some of the rooms were despite the fact that there were people in there vandalizing stuff.. I wonder how nice it looked while it was being used

The place was like going through a weird bipolar episode, it was confusing seeing clean and then vandalized, left and right..

Brought back some memories for me. I managed hotels for Howard Johnson’s Corporate back in the 80’s. So much of what is still in there is HJ equipment…amazing.

I grew up in the area, I'm 42 and I can't remember a time where this HoJo was EVER open. It's been closed and abandoned as long as I can remember.

So interesting. You can tell by the various bedspreads that the place was barely hanging on for a long time. It actually seems like rooms were decommissioned in phases, hence the various tv models, bedding, and even smaller details like the era of ice buckets and light fixtures (some of the light fixtures being Howard Johnson’s era). Usually the rooms closer to the main office stay in use. I bet some of those rooms that stored specific items like the room with the chairs was decommissioned prior to the entire property closing. I can’t imagine they would’ve gone to the trouble of organizing storage after the entire property closed. I’m just guessing though.

A caretaker for the property let me and my friends explore once. It’s very vintage. The pool in the back is epic. I do think they try and patrol it, but clearly people still break in. I wonder why they don’t just demolish.

@AmongTheUnknown 8 ай бұрын

No clue, im surprised a caretaker let you guys go in, I know the original owner wants nothing to do with the property anymore, but it should just be demolished at this point

@@AmongTheUnknown I don't think it was your video, so don't feel bad about that. From what I've seen on Facebook people were complaining about it being a shelter for homeless people (there aren't homeless people here, not a good are for it.) So I think it's just bored white people complaining that got it torn down. Who knows what they'll do with the location.

But no, I thought the place was being demolished because of my video because it wouldn’t be the first time that we posted a video, it became popular, and shortly after the place gets demolished after attention was drawn to it.
