Description
I did a photography 'treasure hunt' in downtown Pittsburgh while takign a break from a conference. Wandered down streets, into public buildings and was astonished and delighted at the photo opps just everywhere. This elevator landing in the frick Building s a grea texample of the tresures I stumbled onot that day.
The Frick Building is one of the major distinctive and recognizable features of Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The tower was built by and is named for Henry Clay Frick, an industrialist coke producer who created a portfolio of commercial buildings in Pittsburgh. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Fittingly for a building created for a man who vowed to be a millionaire by age thirty, the lobby features an elegant stained-glass window by John LaFarge, depicting "Fortune and Her Wheel" (1902).
