It is located in Downtown Pittsburgh at 414 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ==Design== The building was designed by Henry Hornbostel and opened in 1917. Its main hall is surrounded by gilded classical columns 47 feet high, supporting a vaulted ceiling of Gustavino terra cotta tile. Architectural sculpture on the building was created by Charles Keck. It is one of four city/county service buildings in the neighboring blocks. The Allegheny County Courthouse sits directly across Forbes Avenue. The County Office Building sits directly across Ross Street. The old Allegheny County Jail, now the Family Division of the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas sits diagonally at Forbes Avenue and Ross Street. Up until the 1960s, the corrections department had its offices to the northeast of the structure.〔http://www.archsculptbooks.com〕 On the seventh floor of the building is a massive mural completed in 1940 entitled "Justice" by award winning artist Harry Scheuch.〔http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09110/964137-455.stm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pittsburgh City-County Building」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
