From Rivers of Steel: Bost Building National Historic Landmark
Built in 1892 as a hotel for the rapidly growing worker's ward of Homestead, the Bost Building was at the center of one of American labor history's most dramatic episodes—the Homestead Lockout and Strike. Now a National Historic Landmark, the Bost Building serves as the Visitors’ Center for the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area. Guests can enjoy permanent exhibits on the 1892 Battle of Homestead and on the U.S. Steel Homestead Works, in addition to temporary exhibitions that often draw from Rivers of Steel’s extensive archival collections.
