Frick Building
437 Grant Street Pittsburgh, PA 15219
Property Overview
History
The Frick Building was built by and named after Henry Clay Frick, an industrialist coke producer who created a portfolio of commercial buildings in Pittsburgh. Henry Clay Frick built the building directly adjacent to a building owned by his business partner and rival, Andrew Carnegie. Frick, who feuded with Carnegie after they split as business associates, had the building designed to be taller than Carnegie’s in order to encompass it in constant shadow.1 The Frick Building was opened on March 15, 1902 and was the tallest building in the city at the time, featuring twenty floors.
