Built in 1902 and standing 18 stories high, The Arrott Building on Wood Street Downtown was, in its prime, a testament to the extravagance of its day and its owner the Bathtub King of Pittsburgh, James Arrott.
Since the 1970s, following a failed attempt to convert it into 100 apartments for senior citizens, the office building has sat mostly empty, save for a Subway restaurant on its bottom level.
