Terra-Cotta Pilasters on the Donahoe Building

Terra-cotta front of the Donahoe’s building

Donahoe’s was a prosperous market and restaurant that commissioned William E. Snaman to design this elegant commercial palace on Forbes Avenue. Its striking terra-cotta front is still magnificent from the second floor up.
