Fort Pitt Block House to get new roof
Thursday, May 24, 2007The Associated Press
The roof of the Fort Pitt Block House at Point State Park will be replaced next month, officials said.
The current cedar shake roof was installed in 1948 on top of the structure, which is a National Historic Landmark and the city's oldest building.
A Carnegie-based company will volunteer labor and materials to build a new roof, saving about $20,000, said Kelly Linn, curator of the block house.
A historic preservationist and archaeologist will be on hand to examine and document the 18th century architecture and recover any historical artifacts that might be found in the attic.
