Awarding of a contract for the restoration of the grounds at old Economy
means the preparation of another of tho

expenditure  of approximately $11,000.
After litigation, tho 'Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, in 1905, .received title
to a block and a half .of land, including
the Geat House, tho Pca'st Hall, the
community gardens, granary, shops, the
community kitchen, typical dwellings,
and other buildings.
Restoration of the buildings began a
few years ago under the direction of
the State Historical Commission. Now
the restoration of the grounds will
make the old-time scene complete, tho
Secretary says.
