founded over 130 years ago. Our Association operates on a non-profit basis, providing Life Insurance and Annuities to our members. The William Penn Association today is headquartered in the so-called “Darlington House” on the Northside of Pittsburgh, formerly the independent city of Allegheny. It came into the possession of the William Penn Association through its 1983 merger with the Catholic Knights of St. George, an originally German Fraternal Society founded in 1881.
