Union Trust Building
A gorgeous Flemish-Gothic structure built in 1916 by Henry Clay Frick, the structure is decorated with a steep mansard roof, terra cotta dormers, and two chapel-like towers. The church-like appearance of the structure owes to the previous use of the land, a nineteenth century catholic cathedral.

City-County Building
Built in 1917, the City-County Building is a grand structure which still serves as the seat of government for the city of Pittsburgh. Come during the holidays for full decoration and the community gingerbread house contest (displayed in the lobby). For those interested in the more prosaic functions of government, show up on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning to see a City Council meeting in their majestic fifth floor chambers, and maybe even a press conference on the portico.

BNY Mellon Center
A sleek 55-story building which holds the title of the city's second tallest building. It is situated directly across from the U.S. Steel Tower, separated by only a street and a small park, standing as if to challenge the older and larger lion that is the Steel Tower. One of its unique features is the building's eight-sided design.
