    Owner: 
    Twentieth Century Club, 4201 Bigelow Boulevard, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
    Remarks: 
    Inscription translates as "not for ourselves alone but for all the world." The Twentieth Century Club was established as a club for women. The building was constructed in 1910, but was completely remodeled in 1929, at which time the brick facade was replaced by the present limestone exterior with Athena relief. The modeling was done by John Donnelly & Company of New York and the Reed Powers Cutstone Company of Bedford, Indiana.
