## History

[edit]

Bounded by Stanwix Street and the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers,[4] the Pittsburgh Renaissance Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 2013.[1][2] It includes within its boundary the Forks of the Ohio, as well as Gateway Center, the Bell Telephone Company Building, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Building which was constructed in 1927.[5]

## Contributing properties

The historic district contains fifteen contributing resources including the following:[6]

* Nine of the ten Gateway Center buildings:
* One and Two Gateway Center (1952)
* Three Gateway Center (1952)
* Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania Western Headquarters Building (1957)

* Two buildings within the district boundaries which were not part of the Gateway Center or Point State Park projects, but within the period of significance:
