Benedum–Trees Building, Commercial building in downtown Pittsburgh, United States
The Benedum-Trees Building rises 19 floors from brick and terracotta materials at 223 Fourth Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh's financial district.
Caroline Jones Machesney commissioned this structure in 1905, making it the first Pittsburgh skyscraper ordered and funded by a woman.

The structure earned recognition from the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation in 1973 for its architectural and historical significance.
