Pittsburgh Athletic Association

[3] Completed in 1911, the building is an eight-story, steel frame structure clad in stone and terra cotta in the Venetian High Renaissance style.[3] The interior features a lobby with 17-foot high coffered ceilings with medallians and rosettes, stone walls, and a marble fireplace.[6] It offered comprehensive athletic facilities, sports lessons, spa services, fine dining, and overnight accommodations.Some of the building's more interesting features include a pool on the third floor, full basketball and squash courts, a 16 lane bowling alley, and a room dedicated to former University of Pittsburgh football coach Johnny Majors.From 1916 to 1920, the PAA fielded an elite amateur ice hockey team featuring such Canadian stars as Herb Drury and brothers Joe and Larry McCormick.
