The Burke Building is the oldest existing office building and it was built in 1836. It's on Fourth Avenue next to PPG Place. Other than that, I think the only structure that would have been there in 1817 is the blockhouse. The Great Fire took most of the downtown in 1845. Anything that survived would have been torn down by now.
