Pigott Building, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

This building was considered Hamilton's first ever skyscraper/tall building. Built in 1928-29 and standing 18 stories tall and 210 feet high, it was home to the legendary Pigott Construction Company, based in Hamilton, and today the building is used as Heritage Gardens - Condominiums residential. Pigott constructed landmarks such as the Hamilton Public Library, Copps Coliseum, and the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls.

That is one fine looking old-school building for being Hamilton's first highrise building. Handsome indeed. 8.5/10.

the entrance is very interesting.

Ah my favourite building in Hamilton. I love the details exterior and interior, inside it's all mostly stain glass.

Pigott Construction did a lot of fantastic projects not only just in Hamilton and Niagara Falls but also in Toronto such as the Royal Trust Tower, Toronto Dominion Bank Tower, Imperial Oil Building and Ernst & Young Tower.

For Hamilton sheesh they did a lot of projects, Copps Coliseum, Hamilton Public Library, City Hall, Connaught Corporate Centre, and of course their headquarters in the Pigott Building.

Here's one photo I have of the Pigott Building showing the details on the top of the building.

I love these lesser known pre-war skyscrapers - exemplary of their style and times. 10/10!

For those of you may have always wanted to live at the top of a sky scraper, my Real Estate team is listing the Penthouse unit in the Pigott Building tomorrow (Wednesday, September the 12th).
It is a spectacular 2+1 bedroom unit straight out of the movies (the elevator opens right into the suite). So if you know of anyone who might be interested, feel free to check out our website over the next few days at:

Beautiful building, although the lobby and hallways are a little gloomy.

Considered moving there, but the units are very small. And the location isn't great, even though it's very central. A little unpleasant after dark and a long way to the nearest convenience store.
