Not a very exciting page, but an interesting story about this building. In real life it was Farmers Deposit National Bank Building in downtown Pittsburgh. (Built 1903? - One of the oldest skyscrapers in the city.) Originally a very ornate turn-of-the-century building, "renovated" in the 1960's to look more "modern". It was imploded in 1997 so they could build a new Lazarus department store. Lazarus eventually closed in 2004. There were also several very detailed terracotta buildings in that block that were torn down to make way for this now closed departent store…Now that's progress!!!
