After they died, the house was handed down to two different people before it was sold to General James O'Hara. In 1795, the Neills moved from this house to a location in what is now Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh.

The Neills owned 262 acres (1.06 km 2) of land in the northern section of Schenley Park. This house still exists and is occasionally open to the public. The third house in Squirrel Hill, Neill Log House, was built by Robert Neill around 1765, also in what is now Schenley Park. This church was rebuilt several times, but the current building, which dates from 1908, is the oldest standing church in Squirrel Hill Brown Memorial Methodist church was also built on adjoining lands donated by Turner. This cemetery holds the remains of many of the original settlers of Squirrel Hill. He later established the Turner cemetery in 1838 inside his estate, which he donated to the local community when he died in 1840. In 1778, John Turner built his estate of Federal Hill nearby (along what is now Beechwood Boulevard). Its first 'business district' was the intersection of Brown's Hill Road and Beechwood Boulevard. This house is still standing and is located in what is now Schenley Park along Overlook Drive (near the ice skating rink). Squirrel Hill's next house was built by Ambrose Newton some time in the 1760s. The first recorded house was built in 1760 by a soldier at nearby Fort Pitt, Colonel James Burd, at a place called Summerset on the Monongahela River. The growth and development of Squirrel Hill was initially focused on the riverfront along the Monongahela River. The neighborhood most likely was named for the abundance of black squirrels. The name 'Squirrel Hill' may have been given to the area by the Native Americans who lived in its vicinity. The area celebrates Chinese New Year annually with a parade. In the Octoissue of Pittsburgh Magazine, the area is also becoming Pittsburgh's new Chinatown with an influx of mainland Chinese students from Carnegie Mellon University.
