Libby's Food Central was constructed to resemble a modern ship with two decks, staterooms, captain's quarters, and rotating funnels, which were replicas of two large Libby cans. The Libby Treasure Ship occupied the interior center portion of the food building, on the eastern side of Constitution Mall and Rainbow Avenue, between the Heinz Dome and the Academy of Sports.
