Carpenter & Crocker designed this rich-looking building for a real-estate man named S. H. Lloyd. It was built in 1905 or 1906, and a photograph published in 1907 shows it looking little different from the way it looks today.
Once the building was finished, the architects moved their own office into it,1 thus making a favorable impression on potential clients even before they walked in the door.
- Up-Town: Greater Pittsburg’s Classic Section, p. 34 (unpaginated), 1907. “Much that is best in this line of work is that which has been executed by the architectural firm of Carpenter and Crocker whose offices are 410 in the Lloyd Building, which was erected by that firm last fall.” ↩︎
