The Koppers Building was built between 1927
and 1929 of Indiana limestone. Located at 436 7th Avenue, Pittsburgh,
it is 475 feet tall, with 34 stories of commercial offices. Koppers
occupies five floors of the building.
In the Koppers Building, architects Graham, Anderson,
Probst & White created one of the best examples of an Art Deco-style
building in Pittsburgh. This stepped-back skyscraper is encased
in limestone and crowned with a copper chateauesque roof. The lobby
provides an excellent example of an elegant and urbane Art Deco
interior. The architectural firm was the successor of D.H. Burnham
and Company, which designed several Pittsburgh buildings in the
Classical and Beaux Arts styles.
