Downtown Pittsburgh contains a gorgeous collection of historic buildings, representing a wide variety of architectural styles and eras, from the Burke Building of 1836 to the Victorian high-rises of the late 19th century. Apologies if one of your favorite landmarks was missed, such as the Morgue, the Union Arcade, or the Buhl Building (all wonderful buildings). The section of downtown known as the Wharf Historic District is covered in a separate photo tour. Penn Avenue and "Chinatown" will be covered separately.
