Step inside one of the last mansions on Pittsburgh’s Millionaire’s Row
Location: Mansions on Fifth on Fifth Avenue in Shadyside. Featured guests: Marissa Musico, director of event sales at Mansions on Fifth. 1. Marissa explained that this impressive mansion was built for Willis McCook, who was legal counsel to Henry Clay Frick, in the early 1900s.

The organization said its effort is about “building something that benefits more than just our membership.” Attorney William Burnett, who represents NAMA, told the Centre Daily Times a suitable property for the association and the events it puts on is expected to cost about $4 million.
