Smithfield - Liberty Building, Pittsburgh, PA - Odd-Shaped Buildings on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
Pittsburgh sprang up because of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers connecting to form the Ohio River. The heart of downtown, bounded by the rivers, is called "The Golden Triangle." And there are lots of little triangles within it. That's because Pittsburgh's street grid runs parallel and perpendicular to both rivers. Eventually these two grids must crash into each other, and the place where that happens is Liberty Avenue.

This triangular "flatiron" building can be found at the triangle formed by the intersection of Liberty Avenue, Seventh Avenue and Smithfield Street. Get your nails trimmed to a fine point at the nail salon here, or enjoy a perfect slice of pizza at Monte Cello's. I'm sure both establishments are familiar with triangular shapes!
