Pennsylvania Turnpike, Everett Headquarters, North side of State Route 1004 near intersection with Township Route 503, Everett, Bedford County, PA
Summary
Significance: Everett was selected as a headquarters for maintenance, engineering, and fare collection for the Pennsylvania Turnpike because of its central location on the original turnpike between Irwin and Carlisle. It was the only building on the turnpike built to Pennsylvania Department of Highways plans rather than to standards drawn up by the new turnpike design team.
