About this event

Get high above the Golden Triangle as we ascend to the top of four Pittsburgh antique skyscrapers!

  • Koppers Building - See all the way to Oakland from the 29th floor balcony of this 1929 Art Deco gem.
  • Frick Building - Get a close-up view of the courthouse tower from the balcony of Henry Clay Frick's rooftop Union Club.
  • Oliver Building - Admire the intricate Beaux-Arts cornice by famous Chicago architect Daniel Burnham.
  • Kaufmann's Grand - Sweeping 360-degree vistas featuring the city's very first skyscrapers.

At each stop on this Downtown walking tour, you'll discover new views and perspectives while you 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.
