    ANDALUSIA Photographed for the Historic American Buildings Survey by Jack E. Boucher THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Andalusia Country seat of the Craig Family and of Nicholas Biddle and His Descendants N THE spring of 1976, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania published in pamphlet form my account of Andalusia. The I format of the pamphlet was such that its contents could be readily reprinted in The "Pennsylvania ^Magazine of History and "Biography, and subsequently the Society's Publications Committee decided that this should be done. The only change of consequence in the reprinting has been the elimination of James Biddle's Pro- logue and my Foreword, both of which were designed for the par- ticular interest of visitors to Andalusia where copies of the pamphlet are available. Andalusia is situated north of Philadelphia on the Delaware River. Originally built by John Craig, the house was greatly en- larged, notably by the addition of its Greek-temple, river front facade, by Craig's son-in-law, Nicholas Biddle. As a young man, 3 4 NICHOLAS B. WAINWRIGHT January Biddle had toured Greece in 1806 and had been tremendously impressed by its antiquities. Their reflection in the Greek Revival style was, he believed, the most suitable for American architecture. Biddle became a foremost advocate of that classical form. There is reason to believe he influenced William Strickland in his design of the Second Bank of the United States, a Parthenon on Chestnut Street majestically set off by massive columns. As President of the Bank, Biddle humorously referred to its building as his "vast marble tomb." He was responsible for Girard College's Greek Revival appearance, and his broader architectural influence is suggested in a statement by the landscape artist Russell Smith: "I did some work for Nicholas and was to have painted for him a comprehensive composition of the architectural beauties of Phila- delphia, for which we are largely indebted to him, but the failure of the U.
