| Notes |
- Bill Green was the owner and operator of a premier nightclub in Pittsburgh, "Bill Green's Casino and Terraced Gardens," from 1930-1952. His club stood as a hub of Pittsburgh nightlife during the big band era. Throughout the years of operation the club won praise for its quality service and brought many nationally recognized performers to Pittsburgh, including Frank Sinatra, the Ink Spots, Vaughn Monroe, Duke Ellinton, Cab Calloway and Lionel Hampton.
According to family lore, he went to his Uncle Jacob and asked to borrow money for the club and Jacob refused because would not lend money to a nightclub.
The following description of Bill Green's appeared in the April 18, 2004 edition of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette:
"Starting in the 1930s and continuing into the '50s, Bill Green's Casino and Terraced Gardens in Pleasant Hills on Route 51 served as one of the hubs of Pittsburgh nightlife during the blossoming big band era, drawing praise for quality service and booking nationally known performers. The shopping center where it stood is still known as Bill Green's shopping center."
