History
The Industrialist occupies the Arrott Building at 401 Wood Street, one of Pittsburgh's first skyscrapers. Frederick J. Osterling finished the 18-story Renaissance Revival tower in 1902 for James W. Arrott, the Irish immigrant called the Bathtub King, whose enameled-iron works grew into American Standard. Red brick and white terra cotta rise over a granite base. Howling masks crown the cornice. The building sat largely vacant from the 1970s until HRI Properties began a historic-tax-credit restoration in 2018. Desmone Architects restored the shell. Stonehill Taylor did interiors in the grain of steel smoke and molten metal. The 124-room Autograph Collection hotel opened in 2022, named for Arrott and the city's founding industrial families.
