Faneuil Hall Rebuild Aims To Preserve Cradle Of Liberty
The New Faneuil Hall in Boston is being rebuilt along original lines using existing materials where possible. A new roof and supports are planned, with interior torn down to foundations and a steel fireproof structure proposed. Foundations required digging to solid ground, then concrete and granite to bear the new loads. The project, costing about 100000, seeks to preserve the historic landmark while addressing structural decay.
