Father Pitt

Why should the beautiful die?


Frick Annex

Frick Annex, later the Allegheny Building, Pittsburgh
Fujifilm FinePix HS10.

Built in 1906, this skyscraper was designed by Daniel Burnham, architect of the neighboring Frick Building, as the second part of Henry Frick’s architectural tantrum that cut off the light and air from the Carnegie Building. The Carnegie Building was demolished to make way for the nearly windowless Kaufmann’s Annex; this building, which gets plenty of light, is now luxury apartments.
