Episcopal Cathedral Appeal Settled

he Preservation Alliance has reached an agreement with the Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral and Radnor Property Group that guarantees the long-term care and preservation of the historic Cathedral building at 38th and Chestnut Streets. The TCathedral is partnering with Radnor Property Group LLC of Wayne, PA in a development project immediately south of the church building. The Preservation Alliance had appealed the approval by the Philadelphia Historical Commission to allow the demolition of two brownstone-fronted buildings along Chestnut Street to make way for the development project. Under the detailed agreement, the Cathedral will dedicate specific funds from the development project to maintain and preserve the church, and the Preservation Alliance will no longer seek to overturn the Historical Commission’s approval of the development. The agreement stipulates that $2.1 million will be set aside for immediate stabilization of the Cathedral and for $1.3 million in continued maintenance over a period of 50 years. In addition, the Philadelphia Historical Commission has agreed to the formation of a task force to review the “necessary in the public interest” provision of the Historic Preservation Ordinance cited in the Commission’s demolition approval. “We are happy that the parties were able to reach this agreement. This project and the decision of the Historical Commission presented difficult issues for the preservation community in general and the Alliance specifically,” stated Marian A. Kornilowicz, Chair of the Alliance Board Directors. “Although the Alliance recognizes the good intentions of the Historical Commission in reaching its decision, it has serious reservations about the Commission’s interpretation of the law and the procedures followed in this case. Nonetheless, the Alliance concluded that an appropriate settlement would be in the best Alan Jaffe interest of all parties and we were able to accomplish that.”

Philadelphia Historical Commission to Protect Endangered Properties?

he Philadelphia Historical Commission’s Committee on Historic Designation is scheduled to meet on May 29 to review fourteen recent nominations to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. The Preservation Alliance was Tdirectly involved in the production of nine of these nominations, and four are properties featured on our 2011 Endangered Properties List: Joe Frazier’s Gym (2917 N. Broad Street), Stiffel Senior Center (604 W. Porter Street), Dox Thrash House (2340 Cecil B. Moore Avenue) and the Chinese Cultural and Community Center (125 N. 10th Street). The Committee on Historic Designation will make recommendations to the full Historical Commission, which is scheduled to vote on the nominations at its June 14 meeting. If approved, the properties will then be protected from unnecessary demoli- tion or adverse alteration. Both meetings are open to the public.
