Arrott Building, Beaux-Arts skyscraper in Downtown Pittsburgh, United States

The 19-story Arrott Building stands at Fourth Avenue and Wood Street, featuring terra cotta details, marble finishes, and bronze decorative elements throughout its structure.

Frederick J. Osterling designed this commercial structure in 1902, making it one of the earliest skyscrapers in Pittsburgh during the city's industrial transformation period.

The building represents the architectural transition from Victorian to Beaux-Arts style, influencing the development of Pittsburgh's financial district in the early 1900s.

The Arrott Building now operates as The Industrialist Hotel, part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, offering accommodation in the center of Pittsburgh's business district.

The lobby displays intricate Cosmati tile patterns and veined marble walls, while the exterior showcases detailed cornices and pilasters from the original 1902 construction.
