This is about the end of my tour of Pittsburgh. There is one more I want to show you on Monday for Monday Murals, which is taken from one of the Nationality Rooms inside of here.
The Cathedral of Learning was built from 1926-1934. It is the centerpiece of The University of Pittsburgh's main campus.
There are 42 floors. Guests can only go up to the 36th floor to get a nice view, which we did!
And I have to double up today to show you how amazing the inside is:
Wow right?!

I doubt that buildings like this will ever be built again. Too many have been victims of the wrecking ball, but this one looks like it'll be around for a long time. Great interior.
ReplyDeletei know, it's sad really....no pride in architecture anymore...
DeleteThose vaulted archways are spectacular Tanya, they sure knew their stuff in those days :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing interior and very impressive exterior. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteAn impressive tower which you pictured very well. Great looking interior image.
ReplyDeleteThe outside is amazing, but the inside is even more breathtaking! What a gorgeous building!
ReplyDeleteWow is right! It's an impressive building and the inside is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic building inside and out! It makes me wonder what's above the 36th floor? That would be a great view!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular, I would have to say. So glad you got the thrill of being there in person!
ReplyDeletethat IS a 'wow'!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a cathedral and it's absolutely gorgeous. We were in Pittsburgh but it was many years ago when we lived in the Philadelphia area. I remember the hills/mountains and lush greenery, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is literally amazing. And it's wonderful to think of learning this way!
ReplyDeleteGood golly, I would've gasped aloud! The architecture is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteYes, this does indeed qualify for an unqualified "Wow!"
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful building.
ReplyDeleteWow -- those arches are splendid.
ReplyDeletethats huge
ReplyDelete"Cathedral of Learning" - love the name and the building!
