The Arch Street Meeting House Preservation Trust received a $672,374.50 Project Grant award from the National Park Service's Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929) to install a fire suppression system at the historic Arch Street Meeting House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The project goals are to 1) safeguard the National Historic Landmark from fire risk, 2) improve visitor safety, and 3) complete the work ahead of the 2026 U.S. Semiquincentennial. The activities include installing sprinkler pipes throughout the building's crawlspace, basement, floors, and attic to implement a dry fire suppression system that complies with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for historic properties. The project is scheduled to begin in Fall 2024 and conclude by Fall 2025, with final punch list items completed by March 2026.
