Highland Towers Apartments, Art Deco high-rise building in Shadyside, Pittsburgh, United States.

Highland Towers presents a U-shaped structure with four residential floors, featuring decorative tilework between windows and tapestry brick in yellow and bronze tones.

Architect Frederick G. Scheibler Jr designed this residential complex in 1913, leading to its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places in September 1976.

The decorative elements across the building exterior incorporate fabric designs by Peter Behrens, reflecting early twentieth-century architectural innovations in Pittsburgh.

The property extends across 0.8 acres at 340 S. Highland Avenue, providing residential spaces with modern amenities in Pittsburgh's urban environment.

The building's marketing brochures from 1914 remain preserved, documenting the original architectural plans and residential features of this historical structure.
