Milner, FAIA Elizabeth L. Milroy Adjunct Professor of Architecture Dean of the Arts and Humanities Principal, John Milner Architects, Inc. Professor of Art History and American Studies Wesleyan University Graduate Committee Chair Frank G. Matero Professor of Architecture Chair, Program in Historic Preservation ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor, John D. Milner, for his support, guidance, and knowledge offered throughout this research – his encouragement and suggestions were of great value to me. I am grateful for his involvement, patience, and willingness to work with me despite the special extension and distance. I would also like to thank my reader, Lily Milroy, who enthusiastically brought this topic to my attention, for her constructive critiques of my work and insightful suggestions. I also wish to thank Frank Matero for his tremendous support and for allowing me the chance to complete this project. I am especially indebted to Thomas V. Dowd for explaining technical issues that face the Philadelphia Girls’ Rowing Club and for helping to review drafts explaining past structural stabilization work. His tours of the Philadelphia Girls’ Rowing Club and Fairmount Rowing Association assisted greatly in understanding structural problems facing the Philadelphia Girls’ Rowing Club and Boathouse Row. I would also like to thank Dona File who took time out of her busy schedule to meet me in person and explain her past work on the Philadelphia Girls’ Club building. Her on-site tour helped develop the building’s chronology and aided in outlining the efforts the Club is taking to preserve the building. Similarly, I would like to acknowledge Club President Sophie Socha who supported this project and agreed to give me access to the building. She, along with the Club’s House Committee, were kind enough to include me in their meeting and give me insights into the Club’s activities and history. I would also like to thank Ruth Robinhold, founding member/organizer of the Philadelphia Girl’s Rowing Club who is still very ii much active in the Club. Her interview provided wonderful background to the Club’s early days and was a source of inspiration. I also wish to thank Victoria Alvarez for her valuable help in the University of Pennsylvania’s Architectural Conservation Laboratory and for her assistance with the paint analysis section. Likewise, I am indebted to Tammie Clare, the Conservation Laboratory’s Manager, for her flexibility and expertise. Finally, I am grateful for the unfailing support of Rugel and for the encouragement and patience of my family. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS………………………………………………………………….…ii TABLE OF CONTENTS……………………………………………………………..……….iv LIST OF FIGURES……………………………………………………………………..…...vii LIST OF DRAWINGS…………………………………………………………………..…....xi INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………..………..….1 SECTION I-DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE………………...……..…..4 CHAPTER 1: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT…………………...…...4 IMPORTANCE OF THE SCHUYLKILL RIVER………………………………….5 SCHUYLKILL NAVY AND CLUBS…………………………………..….......10 CHAPTER 2: CHRONOLOGY OF DEVELOPMENT AND USE……………………....15 EARLY CLUB HISTORY AND BACKGROUND…………………………...….15 PHILADELPHIA SKATING CLUB &HUMANE SOCIETY………….....18 ARCHITECT PROFILE……………………...…………………..………..…22 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION…………………………………..….……...24 TRANSITION TO THE PHILADELPHIA GIRLS’ROWING CLUB (PGRC)……..29 CHAPTER 3: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AND BUILDING CHRONOLOGY……..…..31 EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION………………….…………..…………………..31 INTERIOR DESCRIPTION………………….………………………...……..36 MODIFICATIONS AND RESTORATIONS……………………………...……..44 STRUCTURAL STABILIZATION AND WORK………………………………..48 CHAPTER 4: EVALUATION OF SIGNIFICANCE………………………...…..……..51 iv SECTION II - CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT AND CONSERVATION ISSUES…………..……..54 CHAPTER 5: CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT AND SURVEY OF BOATHOUSE…….…..54 EXISTING CONDITIONS SURVEY………………….…………..….………..56 STRUCTURAL SYSTEM………………………………..………...…57 VERTICAL CLOSURE SYSTEM…………………………………......66 HORIZONTAL CLOSURE SYSTEM………………………………….69 ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATION SYSTEM…………………….....71 PROTECTION SYSTEM……………………………………..………73 UTILITIES SYSTEM……………………………………..…………74 CHAPTER 6: MATERIALS TESTING AND ANALYSIS…………………...……...…76 PAINT ANALYSIS……………...………………….………………….....…76 EXTERIOR FINISHES….….……………….…………………….…78 INTERIOR FINISHES….….……………….….………………...…..78 MORTAR ANALYSIS………………..…………….………………...…..…81 SECTION III - TREATMENT AND CONSERVATION STRATEGIES………………..….....…86 CHAPTER 7: HISTORIC PRESERVATION OBJECTIVES………………...……...…86 CHAPTER 8: TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS….............89 CONCLUSIONS……………………………………………..……………………...........…97 APPENDIX A: THE SCHUYLKILL NAVY AND THE CLUBS OF BOATHOUSE ROW……….......98 APPENDIX B: HISTORIC AND CURRENT PHOTOGRAPHS…………………..……………...108 APPENDIX C: EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS AND FLOOR PLANS OF BUILDING………………...115 APPENDIX D: CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT MAPPING AND PHOTOGRAPHS….………….....122 APPENDIX E: FINISHES AND MORTAR ANALYSIS DATA…………………………...........137 v BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………..…………………………………...........156 INDEX……………………………………………………………..………...…………..162 vi LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1: Detail of Thomas Holme Map of Philadelphia, 1681.

The City of Philadelphia built the world’s largest dam at Fairmount to power its waterworks in 1822, forming a three-mile long slack water pond that was perfect for recreational boating. The river also froze in winter to create a generous skating rink. In 1844, the city of Philadelphia purchased Lemon Hill, a private estate just Keystone, Philadelphia Skating and Humane north of the waterworks, and in 1855 Society. Photo courtesy of E.
