The Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce is a Pittsburgh area non-profit that promotes business and community development throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania. Founded on December 5, 1874 the chamber received its charter on July 8, 1876 due to the state's passage of a new constitution during 1874-75.〔http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=pitttext;cc=pitttext;idno=00acd3036m;rgn=full%20text;didno=00acd3036m;view=image;seq=7;node=00acd3036m%3A1;page=root;size=s;frm=frameset;〕 From 1874 until 1904 the chamber had offices at the Germania Bank Building in Downtown Pittsburgh.
