The rebirth of Baldwin's cathedral
Article Abstract:
Engineers moved quickly to stabilize the remaining structure and develop a plan for the building's restoration when the roof of the historic Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum Roundhouse collapsed from snow overloads following a blizzard that struck on Presidents' Day in 2003. The renovation of current structural steel design is based on many years of engineering study, testing, and research where the new structure of the lower roof closely resembles the original.
