The Demmler Brothers Warehouse is a historic building in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The building began as a three-story livery stable constructed in 1889–90 by the Pittsburgh Transfer Company. In 1904, it was sold to the Demmler Bros. Company, a hardware and sheet metal business. Demmler Bros. added two floors to the building around 1907, followed by an adjoining annex in 1925.[1] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2026.[2]

The 1889–1907 section of the warehouse is a five-story, six-bay Romanesque Revival style brick building on a stone foundation. The ground floor has an arcade with three large arched openings—originally entrances for horses and carts—and one small arched doorway. The annex is a five-story Commercial style building with an asymmetrical stepped parapet concealing a stair tower.[1]
