Motor Square Garden, Historical Art Nouveau building in East Liberty, Pittsburgh, US.
The Motor Square Garden features a prominent tin-clad steel-framed blue dome and yellow brick facade, with a large interior atrium containing exposed steel girders and skylights.
The Mellon family of Pittsburgh financed the construction between 1898 and 1900, initially naming it East Liberty Market House for their real estate development project.
The structure transformed from a market to an automobile show venue in 1915, later becoming a sports facility that hosted boxing matches and university basketball games.
Located at 5900 Baum Boulevard, the building now serves as headquarters for the American Automobile Association and houses the UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing.
The building's steel and glass architecture, designed by Boston firm Peabody and Stearns, represents a junction of industrial functionality and market hall grandeur.
