The Westinghouse Air Brake Company General Office is another example of a successful historic tax credit project in Pennsylvania. This latest installment of “Historic Tax Credits @ Work” highlights how a historic industrial landmark can be thoughtfully rehabilitated and reused as educational and event space. Today, the well-known Wilmerding landmark once again supports the community while reminding visitors of its important role in the region’s industrial past.
