Frick Building, Office skyscraper in Downtown Pittsburgh, United States

The granite Frick Building stands 330 feet tall with 20 floors, featuring an Italian marble lobby adorned with bronze lions and stained glass windows.

Industrial magnate Henry Clay Frick commissioned D.H. Burnham & Company to construct this building, which opened on March 15, 1902 as Pittsburgh's tallest structure.

The building reflects the early 20th century architectural preferences through its classical design elements, premium materials, and emphasis on craftsmanship throughout the structure.

Located at 437 Grant Street, the Frick Building provides access from both Forbes and Fifth Avenues, with the main entrance leading through the basement level.

A 1912 street leveling project transformed the basement into the grand lobby, altering the building's original entrance configuration and creating an additional functional floor.
