Also, my Aunt Bessie and her husband my Uncle Ikey worked there when it was Liggett and Myers back in the 1940s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495295138304264877.post-63669722792266521262018-10-24T09:56:25.083-04:002018-10-24T09:56:25.083-04:00I worked the summer of '76 shoveling the grave...I worked the summer of '76 shoveling the gravel off the roof with about 12 other guys. Can't remember if we finished before I had to go back to school. The highlight was me finding the original brass name plaque off the original water tower. It was made by Pittsburgh Des Moines Steel Co. and was dated 1920.

It was a really great location back in the '70s, '80s, and '90s for "downtown office workers" like me.
