CTC
is part of a team of architects, planners and engineers
in the process of appropriately rebuilding the roof of
the vacant Philadelphia Naval Home's Biddle Hall. As
a result of a fire in February 2003, the metal and wood
truss roof suffered greatly exposing the building to the
harsh elements of this year's fluctuating temperatures
and sporadic weather conditions.
This
impressive Greek Revival building was designed
in
1827 by
William Strickland.
Mr. Strickland incorporated into Biddle Hall the latest
contemporary methods, at the time, of health care and
fire safety. The
brick
vaults supported by cast iron beams and the overall
masonry construction with iron columns supporting the
piazzas offered a notoriously fireproof structure. As a
result, the 2003 fire did not spread to the remainder of
the building.
Stay tuned for more
information and photos.
