Buhl Building, Renaissance Revival building in Pittsburgh, United States
The Buhl Building features a blue and white terra cotta exterior with ornate Renaissance motifs across its grand facade at Fifth Avenue and Market Street.
Construction of this commercial structure began in 1913 under architect Benno Janssen, initially named the Bash Building before Henry Buhl Jr acquired it during construction.
The building exemplifies the influence of Italian architectural traditions in early 20th century American commercial design through its detailed sgraffito-style ornamentation.
Located in downtown Pittsburgh, the Buhl Building maintains its original architectural elements through regular preservation work coordinated by N & P Properties LLC.
The facade incorporates multi-colored terra cotta tiles in distinctive patterns, setting it apart from other Renaissance Revival structures in Pittsburgh's commercial district.
