Abstrakt:

In 2006, the authors were retained by the owner to perform a structural assessment of one of the few remaining American baseball stadiums built in the early 1900s. After a thorough condition assessment, it was concluded that the structure was safe, but required remedial work to insure its longevity. Restoration plans were subsequently developed based upon the findings of the condition assessment.

The restoration was performed over a five year period, from 2007 through 2011, during the baseball off-season. The scope of work included the restoration of many of the structural and architectural elements of the ballpark and reconstruction of some of these elements. The historic features of the ballpark including the façade and structural profile were preserved. One of the challenges of this project was to complete the construction during the off-season, when weather is less predictable and the available time to complete the work is limited.

This paper describes the structural assessment and restoration of an iconic American baseball stadium. The structural, construction, functional, preservation, and aesthetic considerations of this restoration project will be reviewed and discussed. At the request of the owner, the name of the stadium and some of the details of this project are not disclosed.
