This year’s Old House Fair was another rousing success. The April 3 event at Germantown Friends School was attended by owners and fans of older and historic houses who participated in free “Ask the Experts” consultations and hands-on demonstrations, and explored 70 exhibition booths of preservation professionals and vendors. The Old House Fair grows out of the Alliance’s mission to provide technical assistance and educational activities that encourage restoration and reuse of historic buildings. We recognize that preservation is community driven and [ Left] Keith Leitner provides advice on history and design to the owner of an historic house at the “Ask the Experts” begins with the efforts of dedicated stewards who tend their historic booth.

This quintessential “decorated shed” is an important early work of postmodernism and a cherished University City landmark. The principal south elevation, with its poly- chrome tile patterns and porcelain enamel signage, will be preserved intact, but many in the audience expressed concern with other aspects of the design. Minneapolis architects Meyer Scherer & Rockcastle propose a radical reconfiguration of the building’s east and north facades, introducing large expanses of ISI Building glass and exposing structural members at the building’s beveled southeast corner entryway. These alterations would compromise the integrity of a design that is just as significant to the history of twentieth century architecture as Frank Furness’s Centennial Bank, lovingly restored by Drexel as the Paul Peck Alumni Center, is to the nine- teenth century.
