    It's funny, these buildings exist on the 1903 map before the hump cut, but the corner is Dante and fountain.

    But are gone in 1914 when the street was renamed Pentland and the street grid had been great changed: http://images.library.pitt.edu/cgi-...

    This point is actually midway between Ross and Grant, in the US Steel Bldg lobby, but it won't let me tag there.
