Other Information

Photo 1 is an enlarged inset view from Photo 2.

The view of the William Penn Hotel shows the building prior to the three pod extension on the southeast side of the building which extended the building toward Grant St. The building (under construction) to the left of the Wm. Penn is the old Union Arcade Building (later the Union Trust building). The building to the left is the Frick Building and the skyline in the far rear, at the left, is the Mount Washington area.

Where to find it

*GONE* Northeast corner of Sixth Ave. & Garland Way, in Pittsburgh. The sign was on the old Calvert Building (now gone), which was directly across from the Wm. Penn Hotel. The Mail Pouch sign faced southeast. One side. Brick building. Black background.
