  • IV. Fabric Summary 282 Copyrighted Material
    Eastern State Penitentiary HSR: IV. Fabric Summary 282 IV. 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.

    N RO O C T H G A Washington-Rochambeau M N I B H E S A A Revolutionary Route U W National Historic Trail NAT AIL IONAL HISTORIC TR November-December 2014 Highlights Memorial for Revolutionary War Soldiers at Fishkill Supply Depot News Along the Trail We wish you and your loved ones a Happy Holiday Season and a great new year! Revolutionary War Cemetery in Fishkill, New York On Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11, 2014 the owner of a 10.4 acres parcel of land in Fishkill, NY held a ceremony that marked a significant step in the effort to preserve what the National Park Service (NPS) recognizes as the Revolutionary War’s single largest cemetery. The land owner placed a permanent stone marker that reads, in part, “Near here lie buried Revolutionary War heroes.” Dr. Robert Selig,a researcher studying the route of march that the Continental Army and its French Allies followed to Yorktown in 1781, identi- fied a French soldier who perished at the Fishkill Supply Depot: Jean Bonnaire, a fusilier of the Saintonge Regiment of Infantry. Per French military records, Bonnaire died in the hospital in “Phisquil” on October www.nps.gov/waro Page 1 31, 1781. This discovery raises the total number of identified soldiers to 86 and serves as a vivid reminder of France’s participation and sacrifice during our War for Independence. In late 2007, an archaeological team rediscovered the cemetery on privately-owned land just south of the Van Wyck Homestead along U.S. Route 9 some 60 miles north of New York City.

  • Control and Competition: the Architecture of Boathouse Row
    Control and Competition: The Architecture of Boathouse Row WENTY-FIRST-CENTURY PHILADELPHIANS know Boathouse Row as the idiosyncratic collection of boathouses that dot the shoreline Tof the Schuylkill River (fig. 1). But the unique architectural character and definition of the row is no accident of history; rather, it is the result of one of the earliest attempts to exert municipal control over private structures, initiated in response to a confluence of cultural and his- toric trends sweeping through Philadelphia and parts of America in the late nineteenth century. This paper investigates how the architecture of Boathouse Row developed in three distinct phases: first, under city ordi- nances influenced by prominent individuals who oversaw the founding and growth of Fairmount Park; then, as an aesthetic competition developed between the boat clubs within the constraints determined by the city; and finally as municipal control over the design of the boathouses declined as the Fairmount Park Commission shifted its attention elsewhere and as prominent architects took the stage and a rise of architectural eclecticism led to a profusion of new styles. The boathouses are located in Fairmount Park, founded in 1855. Though the city had acquired the land in 1844, it did not begin to exert municipal control over the site with its first ordinances until 1860. With the establishment of the Fairmount Park Commission in 1867, figures such as Frederic Graff Jr., chief engineer of the Fairmount Waterworks, and Hermann Schwarzmann, a park engineer and later designer of the This paper began as an independent study project during my masters program in art history at Williams College.
