Schuylkill River Heritage Center
Project Award
2008 Preservation Alliance Grand Jury Award Winner
CICADA worked with the Phoenixville Area Economic Development Corporation providing full planning and architectural services. The Visitor Center illustrates Phoenixville’s contribution of industrial steel products to the region’s growth and is a jumping-off point for the Schuylkill River Heritage Trail.
The Heritage Center is located in the Phoenix Foundry, a Romanesque building of historical significance. It is located in Phoenixville, illustrating the reach of industry that makes up the Schuylkill River Heritage Corridor. In 2008, the building and site were renovated for community use.
The project team, which included Landscape Architects and Exhibit Designers, developed a package of documents that were instrumental in obtaining federal funding under the TEA-21 grant program.
