File:Verizon Building, Pine Street, Harrisburg, PA.jpg

English: Built in 1923, this Renaissance Revival-style building was constructed as a telephone company office building and operations building, and saw the addition of a large windowless brick and concrete modern building to the south along Pine Street in the 1960s. The building towers over the surrounding block, with the older portion featuring a facade clad in stone panels meant to appear like a Renaissance Italian Palazzo, with a bracketed cornice at the top, corinthian pilasters on the top section of the building (8th and 9th floors) with steel casement windows on the 8th floor, decorative windows trim, arched and rectangular smaller windows on the 9th floor facade, pediments above the 8th floor windows in the central bays, belt coursing with dentils at the sill of the 8th floor windows, and a simpler facade on the 3rd through 7th floor facade with double-hung two-over-two windows and minimal trim, and a 1st and 2nd floor facade with arched window openings that have since been infilled on the 1st floor, decorative trim surrounds at the doorways, rusticated stone on the exterior of the base of the building, and a cornice with modillions at the top of the 2nd floor. The addition features a simpler exterior with brick laid in a flemish bond pattern to add texture to the exterior and reference older nearby buildings, with vertical brick panels broken up by concrete columns that are articulated on the exterior as pilasters, and a penthouse level with louvers and cross-bracing, with homage being paid to the building’s original section with arched entrances to an arcade at the base of the wing. The original section of the building is a contributing structure in the Harrisburg Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, while the newer section of the building is a noncontributing structure.
