DESCRIPTION The house known as the Wilmerton House is a 2-1/2 story, early Colonial house located at 1548 Adams Avenue, between Frankford Avenue and the Frankford Creek, in the Frankford section of Philadelphia. The house is detached; however, the front façade (northeast elevation) rises from the curb and the sides of the house tightly face adjacent buildings, so the property has no front or side yards. (See figs. 3, 4.) Only the front façade is in public view; additional information has been obtained through historical and contemporary maps and photographs. Behind the house (the southwest portion of the property) stands an L-shaped building that extends onto the property at 1550 Adams Avenue. The L-shaped building does not contribute to the historical significance of the property. The reminder of the property behind the L-shaped building along Deal Street is open. Across the street from the property, on the northeast side of Adams Avenue, are six contiguous vacant lots, all surrounded by a low-rise wooden fence. (See figs. 4, 9, 10.) The property comprises 2,574 square feet; the rectangular-shaped house within it is approximately 612 square feet. 1 The house is currently vacant. The exterior walls are comprised of rubble stone, popularly believed to have come from the Frankford Creek bed; the foundation is also comprised of stone. Ashlar quoins feature on the façade but otherwise the stone is uncoursed (figs. 3, 7). The gable roof, not original, is covered in green asphalt shingles (fig. 3). Discoloration on the stone exterior has been caused by aesthetically careless repointing work on the mortar joints (figs. 3, 7). The quoining, original to the house, appears to be in relatively good condition. There is possibly an historic box gutter, now exposed, along the cornice line (figs. 3, 5). Three stones extending at an angle from the base of the façade, below the first floor window, give evidence that a bulkhead to the basement once existed (fig. 8). The house, about 18 feet in width, has two bays containing a window and the doorway on the first floor and two windows on the second floor (fig. 3). The doorway, on the right side of the façade (nearest the northwest corner of the lot), is inset by several inches and raised from ground level by two steps: one, platform-like; the other, narrow. The original doorframe and door no longer exist, and the platform-like 1 Office of Property Assessment, City of Philadelphia opa.phila.gov/ (last accessed June 3, 2012); Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, 2006, Map Collection, Free Library of Philadelphia; Google Maps maps.google.com/ (last accessed June 3, 2012). 2 step is curiously not quite aligned with the door opening. This, and the fact that there is movement in the stone lintel, suggests that the door opening was retrofitted or otherwise altered. The movement in the stone lintel poses a critical structural threat to the building at present. Currently, the house entirely lacks a doorframe and a door; the entrance has been boarded with plywood (fig. 7). All three windows on the front façade are vinyl replacement windows set into historic wood frames, double-hung on the second floor and casement on the first floor. All three frames are painted brown (see figs. 3, 5, 6). Below the first-floor casement window, there is evidence of a spray-foam application to replace deteriorated sill or mortar (fig. 6). A single story, wood frame appendage to the rear of the house, presumably a kitchen shed, is evident in the 2006 Sanborn map. Among historical maps referenced by the author, a shed first appears explicitly in a 1929 Bromley map, though it may not be the same shed evident in the 2006 Sanborn map as indicated by rectangles of differing shapes (see figs. 11- 12). 3 Figure 3: Northeast elevation along Adams Avenue, 2011 (Historical Society of Frankford) 4 Figure 4: Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, 2006 (Free Library of Philadelphia) 5 Figure 5: Detail: Northeast elevation along Adams Avenue, second-floor window 6 Figure 6: Detail: Northeast elevation along Adams Avenue, first-floor window 7 Figure 7: Detail: Northeast elevation along Adams Avenue, first-floor main entrance 8 Figure 8: Detail: Northeast elevation along Adams Avenue, evidence of a bulkhead 9 Figure 9: Aerial view, northward.

SIGNIFICANCE Likely constructed between 1713 and 1728, the Wilmerton House is a rare remnant of early settlement in Frankford, which itself is among Philadelphia‟s earliest communities. Moreover, while the house is currently in fair-to-poor condition, it is architecturally significant, and unique, as an example of early Pennsylvania rural architectural found today within city limits. The Wilmerton House, at 1548 Adams Avenue, meets

    JAMES LOGAN The Political Career of a Colonial Scholar By E. GORDON ALDERFER* A CROSS Sixth Street facing the shaded lawn of Independence Square in Philadelphia, on the plot now hidden by the pomp- ous facade of The Curtis Publishing Company, once stood a curious little building that could with some justice lay claim to being the birthplace of the classic spirit of early America. Just as the State House across the way symbolizes the birth of independ- ence and revolutionary idealism, the first public home of the Loganian Library could represent (were it still standing) the balanced, serene, inquiring type of mind so largely responsible for nurturing the civilization of the colonies. The Loganian, the first free public library in America outside of Boston and by some odds the greatest collection for public use in the colonial era, was the creation of James Logan, occasionally reputed to have been the most learned man in the colonies during the first half of the eighteenth century. Logan journeyed to Amer- ica with William Penn in 1699 as Penn's secretary, and became in effect the resident head of the province. Two years later, when Penn left his province never to return, Logan was commissioned Secretary of the Province and Commissioner of Property. He was soon installed as Clerk of the Provincial Council and became its most influential member in spite of his youthfulness. Even- tually, in 1731, Logan became Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and, five years later, as President of the Provincial Council, he assumed *Dr. E.

  • “Jogging Along with and Without James Logan: Early Plant Science in Philadelphia”
    1 Friday, 19 September 2014, 1:30–3:00 p.m.: Panel II: “Leaves” “Jogging Along With and Without James Logan: Early Plant Science in Philadelphia” Joel T. Fry, Bartram's Garden Presented at the ― James Logan and the Networks of Atlantic Culture and Politics, 1699-1751 conference Philadelphia, PA, 18-20 September 2014 Please do not cite, quote, or circulate without written permission from the author These days, John Bartram (1699-1777) and James Logan (1674-1751) are routinely recognized as significant figures in early American science, and particularly botanic science, even if exactly what they accomplished is not so well known. Logan has been described by Brooke Hindle as “undoubtedly the most distinguished scientist in the area” and “It was in botany that James Logan made his greatest contribution to science.” 1 Raymond Stearns echoed, “Logan’s greatest contribution to science was in botany.”2 John Bartram has been repeatedly crowned as the “greatest natural botanist in the world” by Linnaeus no less, since the early 19th century, although tracing the source for that quote and claim can prove difficult.3 Certainly Logan was a great thinker and scholar, along with his significant political and social career in early Pennsylvania. Was Logan a significant botanist—maybe not? John Bartram too may not have been “the greatest natural botanist in the world,” but he was very definitely a unique genius in his own right, and almost certainly by 1750 Bartram was the best informed scientist in the Anglo-American world on the plants of eastern North America. There was a short period of active scientific collaboration in botany between Bartram and Logan, which lasted at most through the years 1736 to 1738.
