The Investment Building is a 1927 neo-classical skyscraper in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania which is located at 239 Fourth Avenue and part of the Fourth Avenue Historic District.[1] The original name of the structure was the Insurance Exchange Building.[1]
Designed by John M. Donn,[2] a Washington, D.C. architect, the tower is of the same approximate façade dimensions as its 4th Avenue neighbors the Arrott Building and Benedum-Trees Building, both built a generation earlier. Built from limestone and a darker, more textured brick, the tower is noted for its simplicity and lightness of form and detailing. The roof corners feature chamfered obelisk-like elements.[3]
