Gulf Tower Pyramid Restoration Project Underway

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- It once stood at the top of the Pittsburgh skyline -- now the very top of the Gulf Tower is getting a facelift.

You may have noticed scaffolding surrounding KDKA's weather beacon where the lights will inform you about the forecast.

According to the Tribune-Review, the work being done is one of the final steps in a two-year project to restore the tower's masonry.

It's the first time the pyramid section has been part of a restoration project like this since it opened in 1932.
