Description
The buildings (foreground) were located at the corner of Sixth Avenue (left) and Liberty Avenue (right) in downtown Pittsburgh. On the far left is the Grogan Building at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Wood Street, home of the Grogan Jewelry Company. All of the buildings in the foreground (including the Grogan Building) were demolished in mid to late 1960's to make way for what became Oliver Plaza, subsequently renamed PNC Plaza. Three skyscrapers were built here with a park-like plaza between Liberty Avenue and Wood Street.
