From introduction: "This architectural inventory for the City of Pittsburgh (Planning Sector 1: Troy Hill) is in partial fulfillment of Preserve Policy 1.2, to Identify and Designate Additional Historic Structures, Districts, Sites, and Objects (City of Pittsburgh Cultural Heritage Plan, 2012). This project is the first phase of a larger undertaking which aims to ultimately complete the architectural survey for all of Pittsburgh’s Planning Sectors. The scope of this project provided for the partial completion of Planning Sector 1, including the majority of the Troy Hill neighborhood. This Report of Findings and Recommendations presents survey results and recommendations. Recommendations pertain to 1) the eligibility of various resources for National Register listing; 2) the use of survey data by the City of Pittsburgh; 3) resources prioritized for intensive level survey; and 4) a review of this survey effort’s methodology, with emphasis on lessons learned and recommended modifications for future surveys. The purpose of the reconnaissance level survey was to field check all previously surveyed resources within Sector 1, and to identify as many previously unsurveyed historic resources within Sector 1 as possible within the constraints of the scope. This project was administered by the City of Pittsburgh with support from Bureau for Historic Preservation and Archaeology (BHPA) staff. Professionals who designed this project, conducted the fieldwork, and wrote the report meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Professional Qualifications Standards (36CFR61) for history and/or architectural history.
