Society Hill Towers - During the Colonial era, this section of Philadelphia was referred to as "Society's Hill." The name was derived from the Free Society of Traders, an early form of stock exchange, which had offices and warehouses on nearby Front Street. The area had always been a commercial district. Just prior to the Towers' development, it was the site of the main wholesale fruit and produce center for the city of Philadelphia. In the late 1950s, Society Hill was targeted for restoration by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, in cooperation with the Redevelopment Authority. Part of the restoration included the construction of Society Hill Towers and a group of adjacent town houses, all designed by architect I. M. Pei. The project earned the Progressive Architecture Award for Design, in 1961. The buildings were completed in 1963. They are currently condominiums. (http://www.societyhilltowers.com/) 2. Dock Street - Within the old incorporated city of Philadelphia — the city proper as it was once called — every street is laid out at right angles with another except one. This is Dock Street, which takes a curving or irregular course, from southeast to northwest, between the vicinity of Spruce Street and comes to an end at Third Street, in front of the old Bank of the United States.

  • Infrastructural Gigantic
    Under Philadelphia 50 Chapter 4 Under Philadelphia, Infrastructural Gigantic Below the streets of Philadelphia and normally invisible to those above lies a maze of utility lines, trolley tracks, sewers, privies and buried foundation walls unseparated by archaeological strata. In its working depths, Philadelphia’s underground realm, like all cities, collects past and present in a simultaneous history that recalls Sigmund Freud’s city of the psyche, a compressed Rome in which memory and myth are impossibly merged. Underground utility systems make simultaneous what in nature is dispersed, collecting almost elemental substances from sources far away into an unnatural proximity below the street: water, electricity, and natural gas.1 Their industrial history also is compressed below the pavement in networks of tunnels, pipes, and wires that are built continuously so old and new elements coexist. Philadelphia’s Department of Highways maintained maps of the underground but stopped revising in 1989 so entire systems such as cable TV are now unknowable to the public. A telephone number, prefaced with the request, “Call before you dig,” locates underground utilities through a computerized network, but maps are held by private utility companies as proprietary knowledge. Each utility maintains its own network and has its own manholes in the street for access, so Second Street at Headhouse Square, for example, is pockmarked with manhole covers (24 at one intersection) and often disrupted by utility work. The increasing complexity of infrastructure further obscures the urban underground so that it is not completely knowable even to workers. Lines under Headhouse link with invisible networks throughout the city and beyond, giving lie to discrete buildings within discrete property lines above.

Go with the Faux: Re-Evaluating the Design of the Richardson Dilworth House Abstract When elected to the office of Philadelphia's Mayor in 1956, Richardson Dilworth pledged his administration's dedication towards the physical improvement of Philadelphia. The Mayor made the revitalization of southeast quadrant of the city's core, known as Society Hill, a priority during his administration. As a symbol of his commitment, Dilworth decided to move himself and his family to the neighborhood. The Dilworths commissioned restoration architect, G. Edwin Brumbaugh. Brumbaugh designed a three and a half story, single family Colonial Revival house on the former site of two, 1840s structures. Dilworth resided in the house until his death in 1974. Discussions pertaining to the site's significance have focused narrowly on the building's associations, rather than the physical structure.

  • Territoriality and Surveillance: Defensible Space and Low-Rise Public Housing Design, 1966-1976
    Territoriality and Surveillance: Defensible Space and Low-Rise Public Housing Design, 1966-1976 Patricia A. Morton Abstract This essay investigates how theories of crime prevention through environmen- tal design influenced the architecture and planning of American public housing in the 1960s and 1970s. In this period, high crime rates were strongly associated with high-rise public housing, exemplified by St. Louis’s notorious Pruitt-Igoe complex. Analyzing four federally-subsidized housing projects, I show how ideas about the environment’s effect on human behavior, exemplified by Oscar New- man’s theory of “defensible space,” motivated experiments with low-rise, high- density public housing as alternatives to crime-ridden high-rises. Newman’s theory held that correct design could solve the crime problem by increasing a sense of territoriality among residents and encouraging their surveillance of pub- lic spaces. The projects analyzed here had variable success in preventing crime and fostering community among their residents, raising questions about the effi- cacy of architecture and planning alone to produce security and constitute com- munity in public housing. By the mid-1960s, alarm over conditions in high-rise public hous- 1 1 See National Com- ing in the United States was acute.

  • The Difficult Legacy of Urban Renewal
    6 CRM JOURNAL WINTER 2006 The Difficult Legacy of Urban Renewal by Richard Longstreth Perhaps no term associated with the American landscape is fraught with more pejorative connotations than "urban renewal." Although the Federal Government program bearing that name ended over 30 years ago, the term remains in common parlance, almost always in reference to something that should not have occurred (as in, "This city suffered from widespread urban renewal") or something unfortunate that might occur ("That project would be as devastating as urban renewal"). The term evokes myriad negative references—from the wholesale destruction of neighborhoods we would rush to preserve today; to forced relocation and, with it, community dissolution, primarily affecting underprivileged minority communities; to large-scale commercial development, with cold, anonymous-looking architecture that is incompatible with the urban fabric around it; to vast, little used pedestrian plazas; to boundless accommodation of motor vehicles, including freeway net­ works destined to augment, rather than relieve, congestion almost from the time of their completion, and immense parking garages that dwarf all that is around them. Critics continue to ask how we, as a society, could have ravaged our cities and towns the way we did. The prevailing view remains that urban renewal affords only lessons in what we must avoid. The historical reality is, of course, much more complicated. While many of the stereotypical castings have some foundation in reality, our perspective also has been shaped by myths and half knowledge. The urban renewal program is conflated with that for public housing, for example. Advocates for the latter became reluctant allies of urban renewal, but the two programs had entirely different origins and objectives.

    A PRESERVATION REVOLUTION: RESURRECTING FRANKLIN COURT FOR THE BICENTENNIAL Ryan Zeek Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Historic Preservation Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Columbia University May 2019 Acknowledgments I am greatly indebted to my advisor, Andrew Dolkart, for his guidance and feedback throughout this process. Likewise, I am similarly thankful for the input provided by my readers, Paul Bentel and Will Cook. I received inspiration and support from other faculty members as well, including Michael Adlerstein, Erica Avrami, Françoise Bollack, Chris Neville, Richard Pieper, and Norman Weiss – thank you. I am also very thankful for the support that I received from Tyler Love and Andrea Ashby at the National Park Service’s Independence National Historical Park Archives, as well as from Heather Isbell Schumacher at the University of Pennsylvania’s Architectural Archives. I would also like to thank Franklin Vagnone and Jeffrey Cohen, who kindly lent their time to answer my questions and point me in valuable directions. In addition, I would like to thank Glen Umberger, for it was during a conversation with him while I was an intern at The New York Landmarks Conservancy that the idea for this thesis first entered the world. I am also indebted to the Preservation League of New York State and the Zabar Family Scholarship for their support. Without the members of my cohort, who listened to my ideas and struggles both, and buoyed me up throughout the whole process, this thesis would not have been possible – thank you all for being some of the most incredible colleagues that a preservationist could ever want.
