The Fulton Building is a structure in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The building was completed 1906 and was designed by architect Grosvenor Atterbury. Construction was funded by industrialist Henry Phipps, and the name of the building is a tribute to noted inventor Robert Fulton.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. On May 26, 1943 the building hosted America's first night-court for gasoline war ration violators. Since 2001, it has been the home of the city's Renaissance Hotel.
