Thomas Hannah

Thomas Hannah was an architect in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in the United States. He is credited with designing the Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral. He also designed the Western Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh. He also designed Midtown Towers, originally known as the Keenan Building and built in 1907. It was built for Colonel Thomas J. Keenan, owner and founder of the Penny Press, which became Pittsburgh Press. The building may have been modeled after the Spreckel Building/ Call Building (1898) of San Francisco. It is decorated with visages of 10 notables associated with Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania, including then-mayor George Guthrie and then-governor Edwin Stuart, in addition to George Washington and Teddy Roosevelt. The dome was once capped with the figure of an eagle in flight.

Hannah may have begun his career working as part of Struthers & Hannah, a Pittsburgh architectural firm credited with the design of the Andrew Carnegie Free Library (Carnegie, Pennsylvania) (1901), a Carnegie library at 300 Beechwood Avenue in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. Plans for a Presbyterian church at Hamilton and Lang avenues, alterations to the Commercial National Bank Building at 316 Fourth Ave, brick and terracotta People's National Bank buildingAt the firm, Hannad is credited with The First Congregational Church (1904) on Dithridge Street near Forbes, a sandstone-fronted gray brick building that eventually became the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral.
