The Superintendent of Independence National Historical Park cordially invites Preservation Alliance members and friends to a presentation on Independence Hall Tower’s history and upcoming restoration, given by Charles Tonetti, Chief Historical Architect, INHP. Reconstructed in 1828 by William Strickland, Independence Hall Tower is a critical element of the Independence Hall World Heritage site as both a landmark and focus of the park’s interpretive themes.  Starting July 12, the Tower will undergo a 14 month rehabilitation project which will include repointing and replacing damaged brick masonry, installing or replacing wood shingle roofing and flashings, restoring and painting window sashes and doors and frames.
