  • Description
  • The fire damaged Wabash Station, the Mayfair Hotel, railroad yards, and lesser-known landmarks like Matt Cavanaugh’s Liberty Avenue Saloon, and Eppy’s parking lots, succumbed to the wrecking ball to make way for the Gateway Center Project that included three 20-story office buildings. In all, 40 buildings were razed and a dozen streets abandoned. This marked the beginning of Pittsburgh’s first Renaissance. The Gateway Center buildings were completed around 1952.
