General Info
About Us
Enjoy the warmth, charm and fine cuisine that has made The Back Porch one of the area's favorite restaurants. Since 1975 the Back Porch restaurant, on the western bank of the Monongehela River in Lower Speers Pa., has occupied one of the oldest buildings in western Pennsylvania. Henry Speers Jr. originally purchased the land called the “Speers Intent” around 1785. Here, in the year 1806 he built his home next to a young Sycamore tree near the river, using local stone, and river sand to make bricks that were formed by hand and baked here on the property. The brickwork is still visible today in the dining rooms.
