Mellon Bank
/Collections/Buildings/mellonbank)
Thomas Mellon established his bank on January 1st, 1870, at Smithfield Street in Pittsburgh. The style of this building is earlier than this date, thus indicating that it was not purpose-built to house the bank.
The frontage of the building is based on an artist’s impression painted 40 years later in 1910. This bank was only occupied for 1 1/2 years. It then moved to downtown Pittsburgh (click image to enlarge).
