The early 1990s was a busy time for CDC. While CDC was still conducting cultural resource surveys from the U-PARC office, Chris was also working hard fostering the company’s future across the river. In 1991, Chris purchased a stone building constructed in 1895 that originally functioned as the Lehner Grain and Cider Mill. The building is located along the Allegheny River in the village of Verona; it was abandoned and dilapidated when Chris purchased it but that only inspired her all the more. A lot of work was needed to bring it back to life, including the demolition of an existing building on the property and replacing all the concrete with beautiful grassy landscaping and gardens. Today, the Cider Mill is still home to CDC’s main office and the building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Check out this short video of Chris’s renovation journey… ...

It’s 1992 and Chris and CDC have grown into their first formal office space at U-PARC, University of Pittsburgh’s Applied Research Center campus located north of Pittsburgh in Harmarville. One of CDCs big projects that year was the Rice’s Landing Historic District (Key No. 097660) National Register Nomination, which was completed for the Steel Heritage Task Force. Chris undertook the survey for the district, prepared the paperwork, and shepherded the nomination through the listing process. Rice’s Landing, located along the Monongahela River in Greene County, is an important early river port and later industrial center. The Historic District includes remnants of the Monongahela River Navigation System Lock No. 6, company houses once owned by the H. C. Frick Coke Company, the Dilworth Mine, the Excelsior Pottery, and the W. A. Young & Sons Foundry and Machine Shop, along with residential buildings constructed in Late Victorian, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman styles. (The Foundry and Machine Shop is now a really cool museum and one of the best preserved early small industrial machine shops in the nation!) Rice’s Landing Historic District was listed in the National Register on December 24, 1992 – a nice way to ring in the New Year! ... See MoreSee Less
