ABOUT THIS BUILDING

The Koppers Building was commissioned by Andrew Mellon, whose family had controlling interests in the Koppers Company (now Koppers Inc.). The 35-story limestone building, with its external chateau roof made of copper, interior decorative bronze work, and colorful veined marble was designed in the Art Deco style.

It has been referred to as one of the largest and best examples of Art Deco architecture from the 1920s and 1930s. Groundbreaking took place in November 1927, and the building was ready for occupancy in the spring of 1929. Originally owned and occupied by the Koppers Company, it became a multi-tenant building in 1990.

The Koppers Building continues to serve as the headquarters location for Koppers Inc., now a market-leading, wood-based technologies company that occupies eight floors of the building.
