The Section of Amphibians and Reptiles at Carnegie Museum of Natural History boasts an impressive collection of 252,107 specimens, most of which is housed in The Alcohol House. Built in 1907, the historic three-story Alcohol House was once described as “a three-way hybrid between a pickle warehouse, a reference library, and a mail-order establishment.” It is named for the 70 percent ethanol alcohol that collection managers use to preserve specimens and prevent degradation and the formation of bacteria.
