The Union Trust Building is one of Downtown’s most distinctive structures. One doesn’t have to be an architecture afficionado to appreciate this idiosyncratic wedding cake of a building. Commissioned by Henry Clay Frick in 1915, it was designed by Henry Hornbostel’s firm and completed in 1917. While its glorious interior is familiar to many, there is much more to the building that the public does not get to see. On this tour, led by the Union Trust Building’s senior property manager, you will hear the building’s somewhat surprising history and its role in the development of  Grant Street, learn about its recent comprehensive $100,000,000 restoration, and see spaces and enhancements that typically only tenants have access to. You will surely be impressed anew by this splendid structure.

Tour meeting point:  Lobby of the Union Trust Building, 501 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219
