Subject
Coraopolis Municipal Building, 1008–1010 Fifth Avenue — Historic Resource Survey, 1980
Description
Pennsylvania Historic Resource Survey form documenting the Coraopolis Municipal Building at 1008–1010 Fifth Avenue in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. Constructed in 1929, the two-story buff-brick building was designed by architect John Stewart Wassum and built by Williams & Haas. The survey describes a stripped-down Classical design with a banded brick base, paired pilasters, oversized windows, a sandstone-framed entrance, decorative anthemion and rosette motifs, and a rooftop siren tower with Art Deco ornamentation. A one-story fire engine garage opens onto State Avenue. The building was considered one of the more highly styled structures in the Coraopolis Central Business District.
