B
C
The
caret
Municipal
Hall
is
located
at
1806,
Brownsville
Road,
and
it's
a
brick
and
stone
building
constructed
constructed
using
a
class-2
sysm
architecture
with
a
heavy
influence
of
Dutch
Revival.
The
second
story,
a
mix
of
stone
and
brick
work,
flanks,
a
large
elliptical
window.
The
window
is
divided
into
four
sections,
though
different
from
the
original
three
sections.
The
large
window
opening
remains
the
same.
The
bottom
row
of
windows
consists
of
double-hung,
while
arched
second
row
consists
of
pane
window
glass.
Stone
coins
decorate
the
window
along
its
arch
below
the
window.
C
A
one
bay
firetruck
entrance
with
wooden
slat
door
stands
in
a
once:
heavily
trafficked,
firefighters,
driveway,
leading
to
brown
vil
road,
while
certain
aspects
and
features
have
changed
throughout
the
years
in
the
building,
its
historical
image
remains
the
same.
The
building
is
set
back
from
the
street,
just
as
it
was
in
1910,
while
its
neighboring
buildings
remain
further
out
on
the
sidewalk.
The
south
bay
of
the
building
is
topped
with
a
stone
medallion
inscribed
erected
in
1905.
This
pediment
is
flanked
on
either
side
by
limestone
ball.
C
Finials
sitting
atop
stone,
plinth
smash,
matching
the
stone
finials
influence
that
once
stood
on
either
side
of
the
arching
parapet.
Just
below
this
sits
a
limestone
plaque.
Reading
borough
of
Carrick
incorporated
1921
and
a
photo
of
the
the
building
is
on
the
cover
of
your
packet.
So
you
can
see
the
large
arched
window
as
well
as
the
second
Bay,
with
the
man
door
to
the
side.
C
In
1853,
the
surrounding
neighborhood
was
officially
named
Carrick
during
the
1850s.
This
area
switched
from
from
an
agricultural
area
to
one
that
focused
on
mining
due
to
the
rich
coal
seams
below
ground.
The
discovery
of
coal
further
furthered,
the
need
for
trade
transportation
routes.
Brownsville
is
one
of
the
longest
running
roads
in
the
area
and
where
he
was
used
for
transportation
of
farm
goods
to
parts
of
the
city
and
the
surrounding
areas.
The
care
portion
of
Brownsville
Road
was
changed
to
brick,
and
that
was
the
first
major
infrastructure
change
within
the
borough
of
Carrick.
C
It
was
the
care
the
borough
was
officially
christened
in
1904.
This
is
where
the
need
for
the
carrot,
Municipal
Hall,
comes
into
play
with
the
carrot
becoming
a
borough
and
being
built
up
with
homes.
The
end
business
is
the
central
fire
and
police
station
were
increasingly
necessary
amenities
for
a
dense
urban
environment.
The
main
goal
for
the
borough
building
was
to
service
the
community
in
three
specific
ways.
First,
would
be
a
borough
meeting
hall.
C
The
second
would
be
as
a
police
station
and
the
final
and
most
prominent
use
would
be
Engine
Company
23,
which
was
located
on
the
first
floor
of
the
building.
This
building
was
designed
by
renowned
Pittsburgh
architect,
Edward
Stotts,
who
has
many
of
his
buildings,
listed
as
historic
landlords
landmarks
throughout
Pittsburgh
Stotts
designed
Schenley
High,
School
epiphany,
Catholic
Church,
as
well
as
the
Oakmont
Country
Club.
He
is
most
noted
for
many
school
buildings
designs.
C
Creating
the
first
architectural
firm
in
Pittsburgh
Stotts
created
a
legacy
that
has
lasted
over
129
years
in
1927
after
debate
and
deliberations
through
much
of
1926
amongst
the
town,
people
and
council
members,
Carrick
was
annexed
to
the
city
and
became
the
29th
Ward.
The
final
meeting
in
the
Town
Council,
the
burg
of
Carrick,
was
held
on
January,
2nd
1927
after
Carrick
was
annexed
into
Pittsburgh.
The
police
and
city
offices
were
moved
to
different
locations,
leaving
Engine
Company
23
as
the
sole
occupant
of
the
building.
C
The
engine
company
for
the
most
part
made
a
few
no
changes
to
the
building
with
its
property.
One
change
was
a
was
a
storage
building
in
the
rear
landscape.
The
largest
change
to
the
building
happened
in
1933
when
the
bell
tower
was
torn
down
for
structural
reasons
in
1957,
due
to
an
aging
building
and
advancing
fire
methods
and
Technology
Engine
Company
23
moved
out
of
the
former
Municipal
Building
to
a
new
building,
further
down
Brownsville
Road
between
the
departing
engine
company
in
1957
and
its
purchase
in
1988.
C
The
building
remained
largely
empty
and
did
not
serve
a
purpose
for
the
community
between
1990
1988
and
most
recent
purchase
in
2007
by
the
current
owners,
Amy
and
Michael
korrok.
The
building
saw
some
slight
renovations
most
notably.
The
second-floor
window
is
divided
into
four
sections,
though
different
from
the
original
three
sections.
The
opening
remains
the
same
size.
The
historic
Review
Commission
provided
a
positive
recommendation
to
City
Councilor
for
historic,
designation,
this
property.
They
felt
that
this
property
was
significant
as
an
exemplification
of
an
architectural
type
in
that
Dutch.
C
The
Dutch
colonial
revival
style
is
rather
unusual
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
They
felt
that
this
property
was
significant,
as
it
is
related
to
the
identification
of
a
work
of
an
architect
designer
engineer
or
builder.
They,
the
former
care
of
municipal
building,
was
designed
by
Edward
Stotts,
a
renowned
Pittsburgh
architect
noted
for
his
significant
contributions
in
and
around
the
city.
He
is
also
a
Pittsburgh
native
having
been
well.
C
C
Finally,
they,
the
historic
Review
Commission,
felt
that
this
was
an
important
representation
of
its
association
with
important
cultural
or
social
aspects
of
the
region.
As
the
cedar
government
for
the
borough,
the
former
municipal
building
is
directly
associated
with
Carrick's
history
development
in
the
process
by
which
it
became
part
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
I,
just
like
to
mention
that
the
Overbrook
municipal
building
that
comando
Center
was
listed
a
year
and
a
half
two
years
ago.
It
seems
that
the
transition
from
borough
to
neighborhood
was
much
easier
for
Carrick
than
it
was
for
Overbrook.
C
D
B
Was
formed,
I
truly
had
no
idea.
The
earliest
documented
settlers
in
the
community
that
would
become
the
neighborhood
of
care
can
be
traced
to
1763
mm-hmm
when
2400
acres
of
land
granted
to
Major
John
Ormsby
by
George
King.
The
third
orange
tree
would
be
the
first
to
settle
what
is
now
Carrick
and
in
1818,
noble
Calhoun
bought
all
of
what
is
now
caring
for
$5,000
from
Nicholas
Bausman,
which
is
where
Bao
Smith
Street
gets
its
name.
Who
knew
I
didn't
know
that.
C
C
B
D
You
just
very
quickly
that
that
care
can
over
Brooke
were
both
annexed
after
the
creation
of
the
city
county
building,
so
they
are
the
only
two
Pittsburgh
neighborhoods
that
are
absent
from
the
ceiling
here,
and
it
is
very
fitting
that
they
both
would
now
have
their
former
borough
buildings
designated
as
City
Historic
Landmarks.
This.
B
B
D
B
We
okay
I'm,
going
to
move
now
into
the
public
comment
portion.
We
only
have
one
public
comment
person.
That
was
the
terrible
way
to
say
this.
We
only
have
one
person
listed
as
wishing
to
make
public
comment,
which
is
Yvonne
Francine
Brown,
but
your
bond
is
not
here
and
we
have
no
other
speakers
that
are
listed
that
wish
to
offer,
but
we
do
have
the
councilman
that
represents
the
character
area
and
I
bet.
You
would
like
to
put
some.
E
B
B
You
can
leave,
there
were
2400
acres
of
land
that
were
granted
to
Jah
norm,
speed
that
Dustin
a
Moresby
park
in
all
those
things,
and
he
would
be
the
first
to
settle
Carrick
and
then
in
1818.
A
noble
Calhoun
bought
what
is
known
as
care
today
for
five
thousand
dollars
from
a
Nicholas
Bausman,
which
would
never.
B
E
Know
what
I
just
want
to
say
this?
You
know
when
it
comes
to
historic
preservation.
You
know
I'm,
not
one
who
really
you
know,
I
feel
like
I,
guess
and
I've
stressed
this
at
other
council
meetings
that
you
know
we
overstep
our
bounds.
If
say,
the
homeowner
or
the
property
owner
doesn't
necessarily
want
that
so
yeah
I'm
not
kind
of
an
advocate
for
not
that
but
I
know
in
this
case.
I
checked
in
they
were
all
for
it
and
they're
happy
about
it.
Therefore
I'm
all
for
and
about
it.
E
You
know
and
no
better
place
than
this
place.
You
know
I
used
to
drive
by
that
before
she
put
the
bridal
shop
there
and
I
used
to
drive
by
that
and
I
thought
wow
amazing
that
place
it
was
run
down
and
speed
up
me
bad
shape.
But
now
it
looks
beautiful.
You
know,
I
really
love
it.
I
went
through
the
inside.
Have
you
been
inside
the
place?
Yeah
yeah,
it's
just
a
gorgeous
building
I
wish
it
set
out
by
itself
more
now
those
other
buildings
kind
of
like
surrounded.
C
D
E
Back
there,
and
at
one
time
as
you
can
see,
it
was
all
by
itself,
but
now
I
just
want
to
offer
my
support
for
this
designation
I.
Think
it's
fantastic
again!
It's
to
me!
It's
about
that
homeowners
I'm!
All
for
it
I'm
all
for
restoring!
You
know
we're
keeping
or
you.
B
C
C
B
D
E
C
Can
do
that
really
what
we
would
if
these,
if
the
folks
that
owned
this
building,
wanted
to
put
an
addition
on
it,
that
would
be
fine.
What
we
would
look
at
is
we
would
just
make.
We
would
want
to
look
at
the
way
it's
designed
to
make
sure
it
doesn't
overshadow
the
existing
building
that
it's
made
with
compatible
materials
yeah.
That's
really.
E
Nothing
keeps
him
from
expanding
I
guess,
however,
they
would
need
if
they
wanted
to
alter
the
design
say
you
know
ten
years
from
now.
Okay,
let
me
just
support
this
scenario.
To
you
so
say
the
current
owners
sell
the
building.
Okay,
it
stays
under
the
preservation,
okay,
so
and
and
if
the
people
15
years
from
now
want
to
say
change
the
front
of
it.
No,
it.
B
C
Yeah,
absolutely
anytime,
you
can
find
an
old
photograph
that
shows
what's
how
something
was
put
together.
That's
helpful,
obviously
anytime,
you
want
to
do
a
restoration.
We
love
that
generally,
we.
What
we
would
want
is,
as
I
said
photographs,
so
we're
not
creating
Williamsburg
or
something
that
wasn't
there
yeah
generally,
if
you
can't
see
it
from
a
public
right
away,
which
would
be
an
alley
roadway
or
sidewalk,
we
don't
really
worry
about
it.
E
You
know
the
whole
thing
a
little
bit
just
talking
to
you
a
little
bit
today,
sir
I
know
about
the
altercation
or
the
you
know,
changes
that
somebody
might
want
to
make
and
as
far
as
an
addition
goes
out,
the
back,
they
don't
need
to
be
as
long
as
it's
not
seen
from
the
front
of
road
and
doesn't
change
what
we
see
here.
They.
D
E
E
C
E
D
C
E
D
They
have
a
couple
and
I
know
that
when
they
bought
it
that
there
was
three
different
floors
to
it,
you
know
the
first
one
that
actually
fronts
the
back
of
the
building
was
was
the
police
department,
so
he
had
the
cells
couldn't
that
are
now
in
the
basement,
and
the
first
floor
was
the
firemen
and
then
the
top
floor
was
a
borough
counselors
and
and
and
when
they
bought
it.
The
the
base
converted
into
storage,
you
know,
but
everything
that
was
in
storage
was
was
all
these
Kaufman
displays.
