Born Building, Squirrel Hill

Born Building

This Art Deco block of small storefronts and offices on Murray Avenue is in a prosperous district, but the concrete details are decaying, and many have disappeared. The optometrist at the left end, the central entrance to the upstairs offices, and the tailor shop right of center preserve what was probably the decorative pattern of all the storefronts when this building was put up.

Concrete ornament

This is meant to be the central ornamental focus of the building, but it has been shedding bits and pieces.
