Final Review for a New Structure to Cover Train Exhibit
end
BACKGROUND:
The UWF Historic Trust is seeking final review for a structure to cover a locomotive, flatcar, and restored caboose along the side of the Museum of Industry. This project was conceptually approved in November 2021, and it will help protect three of the largest collection items on display. Being mindful of the historic building and sensitive to the below archaeological site, the proposed design minimizes ground disturbance and physical connections to the brick building. A row of metal columns on both sides of the train will support arched wooden beams and a polycarbonate panel roof system. The design takes inspiration for the industrial nature of railroads, historic train sheds, and the adjacent historic commercial buildings.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
