Glen Alpin Drawing Room

Doris Mercer owned Glen Alpin until her death in 1963.

 

Mercer, the daughter of a Pittsburgh police captain, was a would-be opera star whose second marriage in 1924 was to Sebastian Kresge, founder of the present day Kmart Corporation.

 

After four years, they divorced, and Mercer received a $3 million settlement.
