Bindley Hardware Company Building
The Bindley Hardware Company Building in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was built in 1903 alongside of the Pennsylvania Railroad main line, next to the Shadyside Station. The building was constructed for John Bindley by his brother Albion. John had been the president of the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce and of the National Hardware Association. He tried to organize the industry into a "National Combine" or trust, but this attempt failed due to opposition from the government. Instead, he organized a dominant regional hardware wholesaler in Pittsburgh, a major center of hardware manufacture, with this building serving as its main warehouse.The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
