The May/June 2003 Reporter incorrectly stated that Bonnie Halda served for three years on the Board of Directors of the Society Hill Towers. It should have reported that Bonnie served on the SHCA Board as a representative of the Society Hill Towers. Bonnie has never served on the Management Council of Society Hill Towers. In the last issue the Reporter also failed to acknowledge Linda Skale, the long-time co-chair of Society Hill Open House and Garden Tours. A special thanks is extended to Linda for her role in coordinating this successful program. Caveat Emptor! From time to time the Reporter will print articles about new commercial products or services available in our neighborhood. The purpose is to provide basic information to the reader. It does not signify endorsement of the product, service or business by the Reporter or SHCA. The reader should check references and conduct further investigation before making a purchase. JULY / AUGUST 2003 PAGE 3 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Join Us! ne of the things I’ve enjoyed most during Omy nine years in Society Hill is working with my neighbors on projects that help our community remain one of the most desirable urban neighborhoods in the country. By taking on the role of president of the Society Hill Civic Association (SHCA), I’m hoping to work closely with as many of you as possible. I hope you agree that SHCA is an important forum for neighborhood communication and action. But it only serves the neighborhood well if the individuals who are served by the association participate in it. So I’d like to take this opportunity to invite you, my neighbor, to get involved to whatever degree you are able. First and foremost, please join SHCA as a dues- paying member.

    12 Architects that Changed the World 24 JANUARY 2011 77 COMMENTS inShare100 From time to time, there is a great artist that changes the way we perceive masterpieces and other people and gives us new emotions. Still, humanity gives birth to visionaries in other domains as well. And architecture is yet another great field where these bright minds create marvels and change perspectives. Some architects are even responsible for creating masterpieces with an emotional impact on people and can change the way we perceive cities and countries. Artists or not, these farsighted architects, were and many continue to be, the masters in redesigning our future. Here are 12 great builders that through their innovation spirit and devotion changed our world. 1. Oscar Niemeyer (b. December 15, 1907) His portrait Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho is considered to be a pioneer in creating new possibilities for using the reinforced concrete just for aesthetical reasons. He started with designing the first state-sponsored skyscraper in the world, for the Brazilian government. It was completed in 1943 and after decades it was recognized as the first example of Brazilian modernism. He was part of the international team that designed the UN headquarters in New York and his conceptual plan was the main source of inspiration for the constructors. His membership in the Brazilian Communist Party limited his chances of working in the United States and got him exiled up until 1985. By the time the exile ended, he designed the main administration buildings in Brasilia, the country’s new capital city.

  • Public Comment on REVISED Application for 232-36 Walnut Street
    Public comment on REVISED application for 232-36 Walnut Street John Gibbons, Architect and Urban Planner 8123 Roanoke Street Philadelphia, PA 19118 267.474.9741 [email protected] September 4, 2020 Philadelphia Historical Commission One Parkway, 13th Floor 1515 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19102 Re: 232-236 Walnut Street As the planning consultant firm principal responsible for the 2017 Society Hill Neighborhood Plan, I have the following comments regarding the inconsistency of the proposed redevelopment at 232-236 Walnut Street (as revised and posted yesterday on the Commission’s website), with the Plan recommendations.1 The development as currently proposed conflicts with the goals and recommendations of the Society Hill Neighborhood Plan in terms of: • building height; and, • design. The development as currently proposed is for a 8 story, 100-foot-high (plus mechanicals), hotel building, part of which would be on an adjacent lot. A set back from Walnut Street of 28’-10” is proposed to meet the zoning requirement that the height of a building on a parcel abutting Independence National Historical Park may not exceed 45 feet within 25 feet of an established building line. No similar required height set back is indicated for any of the other building lines. • Background The Society Hill Neighborhood Plan was completed in 2017 by a number of professional consulting firms under the direction of the Society Hill Civic Association with extensive input from community residents and participation of Planning Commission staff. The community goals as expressed in the plan centered on the preservation of the significance of the Society Hill Historic District both as the largest concentration of 18th and early 19th Century buildings in the United States and the first Urban Renewal Area based on preservation, and as a southerly extension of Independence National Historical Park.

This yields 170 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) that contain 509 BDSA. Drawing on U.S. Census data from 2010 – 2019, 13 economic data points are collected for each MSA in the sample, yielding 2,210 initial data points. The same 13 data points are collected for each of the 37 states where at least one BDSA currently resides, yielding an additional 481 unique data points Finally, the same 13 data points are collected for the U.S. economy as a whole. This data is sorted using basic weighted-average calculations to measure the relationship between the number of BDSA and the regional economic performance of the group of MSAs containing those BDSA, weighted by the number of BDSA in each city. The BDSA-weighted average of these economic statistics is then compared to the state and national averages for the same economic indicators. The results of this study show that the 170 regions under analysis have BDSA-weighted economic indicators that, when viewed together, demonstrate significantly more robust regional economic environments than the population-weighted average statistics for the 37 state economies in which they reside and the national average for the U.S.

    Philadelphia Neighborhood Recovery Tour Tour Stop #2 Society Hill PHILADELPHIA NEIGHBORHOOD RECOVERY TOUR TOUR STOP #2: SOCIETY HILL Central Location: 4th and Spruce Streets Boundaries: Roughly, Chestnut Street to Lombard Street; 7th Street to Front Street Introduction Implementation of a preservation-oriented urban renewal plan to restore houses and create amenities in a neighborhood adjacent to Independence National Historical Park, within Philadelphia's downtown. Neighborhood Background One of Philadelphia's oldest neighborhoods, Society Hill is near the downtown business district and adjacent to Independence National Historical Park, where Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and other colonial-era attractions are located. The name Society Hill reflects the community's history, not its current appearance or status. A hill once existed at the area's eastern border, on the bank of the Delaware River. As commerce grew and docks and warehouses multiplied, the hill was gradually flattened. The word "society" comes from the Free Society of Traders in Pennsylvania, 18th-century buildings in dilapidated condi- a late-17th- tion. 217 Pine Street, December 1946. century land- investment company founded by W illiam Penn.
