Frick museum gets $3 million state grant

Frick museum gets $3 million state grant

The Frick Pittsburgh has received a $3 million state grant to remodel and expand a building that houses its car and carriage museum. 

Construction began last month in Point Breeze on a 7,500-square-foot education and community center. When construction is finished in 2016, the building will house three classrooms, education offices, a 1,200-square-foot community center and a prep kitchen. The 8,000-square-foot car and carriage museum will be reconfigured.

This is the second stage of a $15 million upgrade. Charles R. “Chip” Burke, a Frick trustee and chair of its fundraising campaign, said the grant from the state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program puts the total amount of money raised for the project at $13.5 million.
