Two Historic Pennsylvania Canal Towns: Alexandria and Saltsburg
The documentation project, undertaken by the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record in cooperation with the America's Industrial Heritage Project, both entities of the National Park Service, is part of a multi-year effort to record the architectural resources in a nine-county region of southwestern Pennsylvania related to the railroad, canal, and affiliated industrial development. This assessment of the architectural and historical significance of two towns located along the route of the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal during the nineteenth century was completed during summer 1988. The report is organized into three primary chapters: a general investigation of the region and historical events surrounding canal-town development in southwestern Pennsylvania; and individual overviews on Alexandria and Saltsburg, with respective appendices containing the HABS reports on forty-four buildings. Because the building reports contained in the appendices lack a general bibliography, sources consulted are found in the bibliography of the respective chapter; individual HABS building reports transmitted to the Library of Congress, however, contain a full list of sources consulted.
