Dollar Bank
340 Fourth Avenue, Pittsburgh
The Fourth Avenue Historic District is a historic district in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The district was the center of finance and banks for the city during the decades surrounding the turn of the 20th Century.
According to Dollar Bank's website, the bank experienced strong growth following its founding in 1855. And in 1865, the bank bought several lots of land here on Fourth Avenue between Wood and Smithfield Streets. However, building materials were in short supply after the American Civil War, and construction of this building did not commence until four years later in 1869. Fourteen thousand tons of brownstone quarried in Portland, Connecticut and shipped here to create this impressive façade.
