Some miscellaneous views of Gateway Center from Point State Park. Above: One Gateway Center. Irwin Clavan, working for Eggers & Higgins, designed the three original Gateway Center towers, which he meant to be Le Corbusier imitations in brick, but which—possibly after intervention from Eggers & Higgins themselves—ended up being coated with the chrome-alloyed steel that makes them uniquely beautiful.

The Hilton, now the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown, was designed by William Tabler, who was the Hilton company architect. Originally it was coated in shiny gold, but the gold was painted over years ago.

Gateway Towers was designed by the firm of Emery Roth & Sons. Mr. Roth himself was too dead to do any of the design work, having died sixteen years before this building opened in 1964.
