Jenkin's Arcade, erected in 1911, was one of the old landmark locations in Pittsburgh. Long before the advent of the modern shopping mall, there was Jenkin's Arcade. The building housed a three-level arcade and along with Joseph Hornes anchored the lower end of the downtown retail district. It was full of stores and businesses, that circled around balconies that surrounded a large open area. The arcade achieved historic landmark status, but that could not save it from the wrecking ball. In the mid-1980s the historic shopping center was demolished in the name of progress. The Fifth Avenue Place skyscraper stands in its place.
