    CONTACT: Cara Schneider (215) 206-2034, [email protected] REASONS THE PHILADELPHIA REGION IS A MUST-VISIT THIS SPRING New Museum Opens On Independence Mall & Philadelphia Museum of Art Opens New Galleries As Part Of Major Renovation PHILADELPHIA, March 1, 2021 – As spring nears and COVID-19 restrictions continue to lift, the Philadelphia region is eager to welcome visitors to safely explore new, renovated and just-reopened museums; inspired exhibits; beloved annual events; and brand new hotels. Those looking to dip their toes back into travel after a long hiatus can explore the brand-new Faith and Liberty Discovery Center, making its debut on Independence Mall in May; check out the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s new galleries, part of a Frank Gehry-designed interior expansion and renovation; and take a special twilight tour of the haunting Eastern State Penitentiary, also hosting its first-ever beer garden in the baseball diamond. When it’s time to rest their tired feet after days spent touring the town, visitors can do so at the city’s first W Hotel or at the Guild House Hotel, a boutique property in a National Historic Landmark building, both opening in spring. Another great option for spending a night or two is the ever-popular Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package, which includes hotel parking and buy-one-get-one-free tickets for 19 attractions, many of which are hosting special exhibits this spring (see below). It’s available at 40 hotels and bookable at visitphilly.com/overnight. Here’s a look at why Philadelphia is a must-visit this spring: Museum Openings & Renovations: • Independence Seaport Museum – The first day of spring brings with it the reopening of the Delaware River Waterfront museum focused on national maritime history.

  • Philadelphia and the Southern Elite: Class, Kinship, and Culture in Antebellum America
    PHILADELPHIA AND THE SOUTHERN ELITE: CLASS, KINSHIP, AND CULTURE IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA BY DANIEL KILBRIDE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1997 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In seeing this dissertation to completion I have accumulated a host of debts and obligation it is now my privilege to acknowledge. In Philadelphia I must thank the staff of the American Philosophical Society library for patiently walking out box after box of Society archives and miscellaneous manuscripts. In particular I must thank Beth Carroll- Horrocks and Rita Dockery in the manuscript room. Roy Goodman in the Library’s reference room provided invaluable assistance in tracking down secondary material and biographical information. Roy is also a matchless authority on college football nicknames. From the Society’s historian, Whitfield Bell, Jr., I received encouragement, suggestions, and great leads. At the Library Company of Philadelphia, Jim Green and Phil Lapansky deserve special thanks for the suggestions and support. Most of the research for this study took place in southern archives where the region’s traditions of hospitality still live on. The staff of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History provided cheerful assistance in my first stages of manuscript research. The staffs of the Filson Club Historical Library in Louisville and the Special Collections room at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond were also accommodating. Special thanks go out to the men and women at the three repositories at which the bulk of my research was conducted: the Special Collections Library at Duke University, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the Virginia Historical Society.

Even with the new Comcast Tower topping out at 975 feet, overall office occupancy still climbed to 89%, as the expansion of existing firms and several new arrivals downtown pushed Class A rents up 14%. For the first time in 15 years, Center City increased its share of regional office space. Healthcare and educational institutions continued to attract students, patients and research dollars to downtown, while elementary schools experienced strong demand from the growing number of families in Center City with children. The Pennsylvania Convention Center expansion commenced and plans advanced for new hotels, as occupancy and room rates steadily climbed. On Independence Mall, the National Museum of American Jewish History started construction, while the Barnes Foundation retained designers for a new home on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Housing prices remained strong, rents steadily climbed and rental vacancy rates dropped to 4.6%, as new residents continued to flock to Center City. While the average condo sold for $428,596, 115 units sold in 2007 for more than $1 million, double the number in 2006.

Norford, a Partner in Saul Ewing’s Personal Wealth, Estates, and Trusts Practice Group, has been elected to the Board of Trustees of the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks. The Landmarks Society is dedicated to preserving Philadelphia’s heritage by restoring, furnishing and showcasing to the public four historic house museums. The organization was founded in 1931 to save the historic Samuel Powel House from demolition. Samuel Powel was the mayor of Philadelphia just before and just after the American Revolution.

T ASKS A SSOCIATED W ITH R ESTORATION A CTIVITIES 4.A.1. Introduction The project to prepare a natural lands restoration master plan for Fairmount (East/West) Park began in October 1997. Numerous site visits were conducted in Fairmount (East/West) Park with the Fairmount Park Commission (FPC) District #1 Manager and staff, community members, Natural Lands Restoration and Environmental Education Program (NLREEP) staff and Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP) staff. Informal meetings at the Park’s district office were held to solicit information and opinions from district staff. Additionally, ANSP participated in the NLREEP Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings in March and October 1998. These meetings were used to solicit ideas and develop contacts with other environmental scientists and land managers. A meeting was also held with ANSP, NLREEP and FPC engineering staff to discuss completed and planned projects in or affecting natural lands in Fairmount (East/West) Park. A variety of informal contacts, such as speaking at meetings of Friends groups and other clubs, and discussions during field visits provided additional input. ANSP, NLREEP and the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) set up a program of quarterly meetings to discuss various issues of joint interest. These meetings are valuable in obtaining information useful in planning restoration and in developing concepts for cooperative programs. As a result of these meetings, PWD staff reviewed the list of priority stream restoration sites proposed for Fairmount (East/West) Park.
