the amazing stories and people behind these landmarks
About this Event
Get high above the Golden Triangle as we ascend to the top of these four classic Pittsburgh skyscrapers:
Koppers Building - See all the way to Oakland from the 29th floor balcony of this 1929 Art Deco gem.
Oliver Building - Admire the intricate Beaux-Arts terracotta cornice by famous Chicago architect Daniel Burnham.
Clark Building - Get a close-up rooftop view of the extravagant baroque red-domed skyscraper next door.
Benedum-Trees Building - See Market Square from the penthouse deck of one of the city's first and most elegant skyscrapers.
At each stop on this Downtown walking tour, hear entertaining and surprising stories about the people behind the buildings. Discover how they made their fortunes and left behind legacies in stone and steel for us to appreciate today.
More than 1,000 people have taken Mark Houser's Pittsburgh antique skyscraper rooftop tours. Mark is the author of MultiStories: 55 Antique Skyscrapers & the Business Tycoons Who Built Them. He has traveled across the country to find the most beautiful and unique landmark skyscrapers and has shared their stories with audiences from New York City to California.
Mark's next book, Highrises, is a collaboration with drone photography artist Chris Hytha on a coffee table book to be published later this year. See amazing close-up views of more than 100 Art Deco and other historic skyscrapers in the project, read their stories, and get phone wallpaper screens, prints, and more at HighrisesCollection.com.
