Go behind-the-scenes, get unique access, or simply explore a diverse collection of buildings that represent an architectural tapestry of old, new and re-purposed.

Due to its prime, riverfront location, the Strip District started out as the headquarters for several companies in the early 19th century including U.S. Steel, Westinghouse, and The H.J. Heinz Company.

By the end of the 1920s, the Strip District become the economic center of Pittsburgh, as more restaurants and grocers continued to settle in the Strip District. Today, while some of its original grocers remain, many have been replaced with artistic shops, antique stores, boutique merchants, restaurants and alcohol producers.

Be inspired by the Strip District’s transformation from a small manufacturing neighborhood to one now powered by technology giants and one-of-a-kind startups as DOORS OPEN Pittsburgh invites you to experience the Strip District as never before!

Consider enhancing your Strip District experience by indulging in some local libations from Cinderlands Beer Company, Kingfly Spirits and/or Wigle Whiskey. Click here for details and to pre-purchase your tasting.

Please Note: To date, some building owners require facial masks for entry regardless of vaccination status - so please bring a mask to be used as needed. Otherwise, per current CDC guidelines, we do not require masks for fully vaccinated persons on our tours but will rely on “the honor system” as to whether attendees are vaccinated.
