US Steel Tower construction - Pittsburgh, PA
I was wondering does anyone have any photos of the US steel tower under construction during 1967-1970?

I found 1 pic at least.

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Steel_Tower My favorite fun fact is that this tower has 2.3 million sq ft. Compare that to the Empire State Building which is 2.2 million even though it is much taller. It shows how thick this building is all the way to the top. |
What a beast!

I had a meeting there last week, as I do relatively often.
My sister and her husband work there, and my dad worked there for a very long time before he retired. Even though it is not the most attractive, I always liked it. Pretty cool to see it under construction. Also remember going to top of the triangle for swanky dinners as a kid too. :) |

Here is a great image of what the large outside supporting beams look like after being first made. Go to...
