Pigott Building, Art Deco high-rise building in downtown Hamilton, Canada

The Pigott Building reaches 64 meters in height with 18 floors featuring geometric patterns and decorative elements along its exterior facade at James Street South.

Constructed in 1929 as Hamilton's first skyscraper, the structure marked the beginning of vertical development in the city's commercial district during the late 1920s.

The building represents a transition in architectural design, combining Art Deco with Gothic Revival elements through the vision of local architects Bernard and Fred Prack.

The structure contains 110 residential units ranging from 600 to 2,000 square feet, with monthly maintenance fees covering water services and common area upkeep.

The Canadian Club Movement started at this location in 1892, preceding the construction of the current building by nearly four decades.
