Allegheny Jail
Pittsburgh, PA
IKM
Incorporated has been commissioned by Allegheny County to design the conversion
of the National Historic Landmark Allegheny County Jail into a facility
for the Family Division of the Court of Common Pleas. The Allegheny County
Courthouse and Jail, designed by H. H. Richardson in 1883 - 1884, was
the culminating achievement of his short but notable career.
The result is an award-winning project in which the exterior and major
interior structures have been stabilized, preserved or restored to maintain
or replace the building's important image; the courts have been provided
with a physical plant meeting their needs for increased security and improved
functionality in a restrained and 'stress reduced' atmosphere.
