 When the Jones and Laughlin Company management relocated from 200 Ross Street to the Gateway Center in 1952, the building was purchased by the City of Pittsburgh and other quasi-governmental city agencies like the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (URA).The City renamed the building the John P. Robin Civic Building, after the first executive director of the URA who rebuilt much of Pittsburgh’s downtown in a 1940s and 1950s project dubbed Renaissance I.The URA and the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP) occupied the upper floors of 200 Ross Street, whereas the lower floors consisted of city personnel and nonprofit organizations.
