Also known as the Unity Tree, the unique and custom-made tree adorns the facade of the former Horne’s Department Store.

The Joseph Horne Company (1849-1994) was an iconic Pittsburgh department store chain headquartered in what is now Penn Avenue Place. The retailer began the tree display in the early 1950’s. The upgraded tree is over 100-feet tall and is decorated with 2,500 eco-friendly lights and more than 2,000 ornaments.

The tree’s current name reflects that of its present sponsor, healthcare non-profit Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.
