Avery in The Piano Lesson works at the Gulf Tower in downtown Pittsburgh running the elevators. The Gulf Tower is an iconic Art Deco skyscraper built in 1932. This was the tallest building in Pittsburgh until the 1970s when the U.S. Steel building was completed. This building still stands at 707 Grant Street. |
