"Pitt's Gothic Cathedral of Learning, the tallest
school building in the western world, rises 535 feet 
(42 stories). It was designed by architect Charles Z. Klauder 
and built between 1926 and 1937. The Cathedral houses 
the unique Nationality Classrooms, 23 authentically designed
and decorated classrooms developed and funded by the ethnic
communities in Allegheny County." (From the brochure,
