FABRIC SUMMARY: CONSTRUCTION, ALTERATIONS, AND USES OF SPACE (for documentation, see Appendices A and B, by date, and C, by location) Jeffrey A. Cohen § A. Front Building (figs. C3.1 - C3.19) Work began in the 1823 building season, following the commencement of the perimeter walls and preceding that of the cellblocks. In August 1824 all the active stonecutters were employed cutting stones for the front building, though others were idled by a shortage of stone. Twenty-foot walls to the north were added in the 1826 season bounding the warden's yard and the keepers' yard. Construction of the center, the first three wings, the front building and the perimeter walls were largely complete when the building commissioners turned the building over to the Board of Inspectors in July 1829. The half of the building east of the gateway held the residential apartments of the warden. The west side initially had the kitchen, bakery, and other service functions in the basement, apartments for the keepers and a corner meeting room for the inspectors on the main floor, and infirmary rooms on the upper story. The latter were used at first, but in September 1831 the physician criticized their distant location and lack of effective separation, preferring that certain cells in each block be set aside for the sick. By the time Demetz and Blouet visited, about 1836, ill prisoners were separated rather than being placed in a common infirmary, and plans were afoot for a group of cells for the sick, with doors left ajar like others.

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.

  • Philadelphia, 1982–2007: Toward the Postindustrial City
    Philadelphia, 1982–2007: Toward the Postindustrial City T THE TIME OF ITS TERCENTENNIAL, Philadelphia’s outlook appeared bleak. Few people would have predicted much of a Afuture for the city. By almost every measure, the 1970s had been a disaster. In that single decade the population dropped 260,000. The employment base seemed to be collapsing, as manufacturing jobs fell 40 percent. The resulting erosion of the tax base left the city with a chronic fiscal crisis. In 1976 alone, local property taxes rose by one-third. Under the administration of Mayor Frank Rizzo (1972–80), violent crime jumped, despite his trademark swagger and tough talk. Racial animosities ran deep—in City Council chambers and in the neighborhoods. In impoverished districts, especially in lower North Philadelphia, landlords simply abandoned their properties, which became derelict fire hazards and havens for drug addicts and gangs. The schools struggled to teach amidst the social chaos. Homeless people were sleeping on the sidewalks. In January 1982, after 134 years, the Philadelphia Bulletin, long the leading newspaper, ceased publication. It was an ominous sign. In the ensuing quarter century, Philadelphia—its government and business leaders, and its residents and workers—struggled to adjust to a new economic reality, but with only mixed results. On the positive side, Center City became an exciting destination, with shimmering new office towers, thousands of new residents, and droves of tourists. The economy held its own in the growth sectors of information, health, and education. The city government made progress attacking the decay of its most dis- tressed neighborhoods and, with state help, improved its schools.

    Interview with Robert Heckert 12/28/77 I'm Robert Heckert, a good friend of Walter's, who has asked me to come here to record some impressions and recollections of the city of Philadelphia as I knew it back as far as 50 years ago. I came to the city in 1927 to settle down and was then associated with the Philadelphia Ethical Culture Society. it was not until 1943 that I became a radio commentator on station WIBG at that time. And a little later on with station KYW, where I became fairly well known throughout the Philadelphia area. Walter would like me to characterize if I would some of the early mayors of the city going back to that time. Well, the first one I remember clearly and the first one with whom I had some contact was Mayor Harry Mackey. As everybody knows at that time all Philadelphia mayors were Republicans. And Harry Mackey was a good Republican. A good soldier in the Vare machine organization. I>want to say a good thing about Mayor Mackey. He came into the mayors office in January 1928. It was a good time in the city and in the country, economically speaking, and we were enjoying great prosperity and Philadelphia was no exception to that rule. But in the middle of Mayor Mackey's term the great Depression struck the nation and of course Philadelphia along with it. And I remember very distinctly that there were hundreds, literally many hundreds of unemployed absolutely destitute men who were housed in an old warehouse around 16th and Hamilton streets where they were given simple food and shelter.
