Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall

Soldiers' & Sailors' Memorial Hall and Military Museum in the Oakland cultural district of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was originated by the Grand Army of the Republic in 1906. It was originally built to recognize the sacrifice, valor and patriotism of the Civil War Veterans of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

In 1974, it was entered into the National Register of Historic Places. It was designated a City Historical structure in 1991. The Department of defense designated the Hall as a "Commemorative Community" in 1993.
