Part of a long-term documentation effort in western Pennsylvania, the Historic American Engineering Record's (HAER) inventory of Huntingdon County commenced in June 1988 with a contract between HAER and local historian Nancy S. Shedd. This contract (PX-0001-8-0768) called for the identification of the county's pre-1940 engineering and industrial structures, using the HAER inventory procedure developed in concert with the National Register of Historic Places. Ms. Shedd, a long-time resident of Huntingdon County and president of the Huntingdon County Historical Society, conducted the research and visited numerous industrial sites. Each site was photographed by Ms. Shedd who produced descriptive and historical information for nearly eighty industrial works and engineering structures. In addition, Ms. Shedd completed an introductory essay on the county's industrial development. The results of this work form the bulk of this publication.
