Project Information:
In February 1987, the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER)
and the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) began a multi-year
historical and architectural documentation project in southwestern
Pennsylvania. Carried out in conjunction with America's Industrial
Heritage Project (AIHP), HAER undertook a comprehensive inventory
of Blair and Cambria counties as the first step in identifying the region's
surviving historic engineering works and industrial resources.
The results of this project have been published in Huntingdon County.
