The Baldwin Historical Society brings you another trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past. Pat Lombardi and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, generously write the questions and provide the pictures.

Here is this week's question:

This building was known as the Pfeil Hotel from 1909 until 1922.

It was used as the meeting place for the Baldwin Township Commissioners from 1916 until their municipal building was built in 1922 on the corner of Six Mile Ferry and Glass Run roads. (The commissioners lost their township building along Brownsville Road in 1916 when Brentwood Borough was formed.)

This hotel had a liquor license and was a fine eating establishment.

The building is still standing. Where is it located?

Give us your guess in the comments section below. We will reveal the answer on Monday.
