First National Bank Building (Pittsburgh)


The First National Bank Building was a high-rise building erected in 1909 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The building was later enlarged to a 26-story, skyscraper, making it the tallest in the city when the renovations were completed in 1912. Tenants moved in on April 1, 1912, with the building's fireproofing prominently advertised.

Demolition

The Pittsburgh National Bank decided to build a new building on the site in the late 1960's. Tenants were told to vacate the building by April 30, 1968.
Work began on razing the structure by late 1968.
The structure was completely demolished in 1969 to make way for One PNC Plaza.
