Pyramid Scheme
The Art Deco Gulf Tower in Pittsburgh.
We begin our slideshow of Pittsburgh with architecture. This is the top of the Gulf Tower which was built by Gulf Oil (long before it became part of Chevron).
Wikipedia has this to say: [The Gulf Tower was] designed by the firm of Trowbridge & Livingston and completed in 1932 at a cost of $10.05 million ($140.4 million today). Now called Gulf Tower, it has 44 floors and rises 177.4 m (582 ft) above Downtown Pittsburgh. The crown of the skyscraper is modeled after the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus in the style of a step pyramid. The building was listed as a Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark in 1973.
