About Oliver Building

The Henry W. Oliver Building, now known as the Embassy Suites by Hilton Pittsburgh Downtown, is a 25-story skyscraper in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Designed by renowned architect Daniel Burnham and built between 1908 and 1910, it stands out for its stone and terra-cotta facade, which encases a steel frame. The building originally served as the headquarters for Henry W. Oliver's steel and coal businesses and as a lasting landmark of the growing skyline. Today, the upper floors house a hotel whose design recalls the industrial era and the building's namesake, while the building as a whole is once again heavily occupied and sits across from Mellon Square.
