The First National Bank Building was a high-rise building erected in 1909 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The building was later enlarged to a 26-storey, 118 m (387 ft) skyscraper, making it the tallest in the city when the renovations were completed in 1912. The structure was completely demolished in 1970 to make way for One PNC Plaza.[4]
