The Grand Halle on Broad Street is looking extraordinarily grand! JAHA is one of the earliest proponents of Cambria City as a cultural district, and completed the application to get the area listed on the National Register of Historic Districts in the early 1990s. When three historic and architecturally significant churches in the neighborhood were closed in the 2000s, JAHA helped facilitate design charrettes in 2010 and 2011 to help the community imagine re-uses for them. Today, this structure, the former Immaculate Conception, is owned by the non-profit 1901 Church (Steeples Project), which has been working diligently toward its preservation and re-use. JAHA applauds 1901 Church for its continued progress!
