Pittsburgh, PA Stephen Wessling, AIA, CSI, ICC, president/CEO and Scott Winkler, AIA, LEED AP, senior project manager, of Wessling Architects of Quincy, will be presenting at the Traditional Building Conference in Pittsburgh, on the incredible transformation and restoration of the historical Union Trust Building.
The Union Trust Building was built as the Union Arcade by Henry Clay Frick over 100 years ago. It is a gothic gem embellished with architectural terra cotta on its monumental mansard roof. This session will be led by Wessling Architects who supervised the recent rehabilitation of this historic Pittsburgh Landmark. They will delve into the preservation of sandstone and restoration of architectural terra cotta, drawing upon the work on this project, as well as discuss other historic buildings.
The presentation will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 25-26, 2016 at the Grand Hall at the Priory.
The Union Trust Building is in and of itself a unique and majestic work of art and architecture. Preserving the integrity of its history and rehabilitating the exterior façade and intricately detailed mansard roof was an incredible undertaking that produced a visually spectacular restoration.
