Turtle Creek High School Listed on the National Register of Historic Places

On September 7th, The Director of the National Park Service announced that the Turtle Creek High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 30th, 2007.

Although this federal designation does not place any restrictions on the private property owners, it does however, provide a level of protection to the building if a redevelopment project is proposed involving federal funds. The designation also gives property owners access to special grants and tax credits for the “certified rehabilitation” of income-producing properties.

This prestigious listing is the culmination of over 2 years of work by, The Committee to Save Turtle Creek High School, Turtle Creek Council and Mayors office, the citizens and alumni of Turtle Creek High and the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation.
