About this Event

OCTOBER 25-26 ONLY!

Get high above the Golden Triangle as we ascend to the top of four Pittsburgh antique skyscrapers!


  • Koppers Building - See all the way to Oakland from the 29th floor balcony of this 1929 Art Deco gem.
  • Oliver Building - Admire the intricate Beaux-Arts cornice by famous Chicago architect Daniel Burnham.
  • Clark Building - Get a close-up rooftop view of the extravagant baroque red-domed skyscraper next door.
  • Frick Building - Face off against the courthouse tower from the balcony of Henry Clay Frick's rooftop Union Club.

At each stop on this two-hour Downtown walking tour, you'll discover new views and perspectives while you hear entertaining and surprising stories about the people behind the buildings. Discover how they made their fortunes and left their legacies in stone and steel for us to appreciate today.

More than 2,000 people have joined me on my Pittsburgh skyscraper rooftop tours. Tickets sell out regularly, so reserve yours today!

Mark Houser is the author of two books on antique skyscrapers: with digital artist Chris Hytha, and . He has traveled across the country to find the most beautiful and unique landmark skyscrapers and has shared their stories with audiences from New York to California.
