Carnegie Building, Steel company headquarters in Downtown Pittsburgh, United States.
The Carnegie Building stood at 428-438 Fifth Avenue as a 13-floor steel-framed structure with Chicago school architectural elements designed by Longfellow, Alden & Harlow.
Constructed between 1893 and 1895, the Carnegie Building marked its place in history as Pittsburgh's tallest building and the first steel-cage structured skyscraper in the city.
The building represented the industrial might of Carnegie Steel Company, serving as the central management point for numerous steel mills throughout the Pittsburgh region.
The Carnegie Building occupied a central location in Pittsburgh's business district until 1952, when it was demolished to allow for the expansion of Kaufmann's store.
The building's steel-cage construction method established a new standard for architectural design, introducing modern building techniques that transformed the city's skyline.
