Pittsburgh History of Forbes Pride & Stevenson Buildings

The Forbes Pride & Stevenson buildings are two Pittsburgh landmark buildings that have been renovated and upgraded to provide a modern workspace for today's businesses. These buildings also contain a rich historical legacy and have long been an integral part of Pittsburgh's growth and vitality.

The Forbes Pride building was constructed by the Reymer brothers in 1906 and used it to manufacture candy, chocolate and other sweet treats. Many Pittsburghers may be familiar with Reymer’s "Lem-N-Blennd" beverage, which is still on the market.

The Forbes Stevenson building was constructed in 1905 by the Kaufmann family and used it as a warehouse to store dry goods for its thriving Kaufmann's department store.
