The Highland Towers Apartments is an historic building which is located in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Built in 1913, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
This apartment building was designed by Pittsburgh native Frederick G. Scheibler Jr., who designed over a dozen buildings in the area. The U-shaped structure has four floors of apartments and a raised basement.[2]
The façade is tapestry brick in yellow, bronze, tan and brown. Scheibler placed decorative tilework between the windows; his tilework was based on a fabric designed by Peter Behrens.[2]
