The building was built in 1927 ( Keystone Athletic Club opened JN. 1, 1929).  The club dissolved in 1934.  The building became the 300-room Keystone Hotel between 1934 and 1939.  In circa 1951, the hotel was a Sheraton Hotel, and in circa 1956 was a Sherwyn Hotel. The Point Park University purchased the property in the 1960s and dedicated it in 1968 as the David L. Lawrence Hall, in honor of the former Pennsylvania governor.
