This tour covers the northern half of a street the American Planning Association has designated one of the country’s Great American Places. From the quintessentially Modernist U.S. Steel Tower to the elegant Beaux-Arts Pennsylvanian (formerly Union Station), and with glorious Art Deco gems in between, this part of Grant Street is populated by outstanding civic and corporate buildings. Examples of adaptive reuse of historic buildings in this corridor demonstrate the economic value of historic preservation. Tour participants also will learn of the wide influence of businessman, philanthropist, politician, art collector, and Pittsburgh native Andrew W. Mellon on this important street.

Tour Meeting Point: Outside Grant Street entrance to the Omni William Penn Hotel, Grant Street near Sixth Avenue

Tour Ending Point: Mellon Square
