Introduction

The U.S. Steel Tower is the most recognizable skyscraper on the Pittsburgh skyline, completed in 1971, 256 meters tall with 64 floors, once the tallest building in Pennsylvania. This triangular prism steel tower has a steel frame with polished stainless steel cladding, the facade composed of triangular stainless plates reflecting city light and clouds, earning the nickname Crown of Steel. The top floor houses a restaurant and observation deck with 360-degree views over Pittsburgh's three-river confluence and Golden Triangle. Pittsburgh is known as the Steel City, and U.S. Steel Corporation headquarters here make the tower a monument to the steel industry. The unique triangular floor plan gives every office natural light and corner views, a classic case of 20th-century modernist office architecture.
