  • Description
  • The Gulf Building (center, under construction), located at Seventh Avenue and Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh, was designed by the architectural firm of Trowbridge & Livingston in 1930-32. The building is forty-four stories (582 feet) in height and was the tallest building in Pittsburgh until 1970. After Gulf Oil merged with Chevron in 1985 the building was no longer associated with the oil industry. The building, today known as Gulf Tower, was sold in 1985 to New York developers who converted the structure to office rental space.
