  • The Public Safety Building of the City of Pittsburgh, built on the site that was once occupied by the offices of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The new building, intended as an adjunct to the City-County Office Building a block away on Grant Street, was built to house municipal courts and police administrative offices. Across the river in the left background are the warehouses on the grounds of the old Pennsylvania, Lake Erie Railroad, which would become Station Square, a popular shopping and nightlife center on the South Side.
