Disston-Tacony Industrial Waterfront Historic District DISSTON-TACONY INDUSTRIAL WATERFRONT HISTORIC DISTRICT Proposed Action: Designation Property Owner: Various Nominator: Tacony Community Development Corporation Staff Contact: Allyson Mehley, [email protected] OVERVIEW: This nomination proposes to designate the Disston-Tacony Industrial Waterfront Historic District and list it on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. The proposed historic district is in the Tacony neighborhood and includes 16 tax parcels containing 45 historic resources. The proposed historic district is the location of the Henry Disston & Sons Keystone Saw Works which resided there from 1872 to 1955. The company transformed the saw making and tool making industry not only in Philadelphia but throughout the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The company was founded by English immigrant Henry Disston in the 1840s in the Northern Liberties neighborhood. With plans for expansion, he began developing the Tacony property for his company in 1872 with the intent to move all operations to this waterfront location. Under Criterion A, the nomination contends that the historic district comprises the buildings, structures, and other physical features that historically represent, the formative and most important industrial complex in the Tacony neighborhood, as well as one of the most significant in Philadelphia. The firm and its manufacturing plant also satisfy Criterion A in the area the development of saw and tool manufacturing in Philadelphia and throughout the United States. Under Criterion G, the nomination asserts that the district is a distinctive industrial area which should be preserved for its ties to Philadelphia’s manufacturing history, and as an intact industrial plant that exemplifies the economic heritage of Tacony and Philadelphia. Finally, the nomination argues that the Keystone Saw Works and its manufacturing plant satisfy Criterion J in the areas of cultural, economic, and social heritage, as related to the Tacony neighborhood, and economic and social trends in the larger City of Philadelphia. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends that the nomination demonstrates that the Disston-Tacony Industrial Waterfront Historic District satisfies Criteria for Designation A, G, and J. For the purposes of this nomination, staff recommends that all vacant land more than 20 feet from a resource identified in the inventory as contributing or significant shall be considered non-contributing. 1.

Boundary Description The Disston-Tacony Industrial Waterfront Historic District is comprised of 16 tax parcels, each of which is defined by a metes and bounds description in its deed. A list of the tax parcels comprising the historic district can be found in the district inventory. Physical Description Located in the geological region known as the Piedmont Upland Section of the Piedmont Province, the Disston-Tacony Industrial Waterfront Historic District is located immediately upon the Delaware River in the northeast section of the City of Philadelphia. The subject historic district is located approximately 9 miles from City Hall, and two miles from the northeastern city limit on relatively flat topography. The district, which encompasses and/or includes approximately 8 city blocks, consisting of clusters of industrial buildings that comprised the Keystone Saw Works and were built by Henry Disston & Sons between 1872 and 1943.1 The following is a general description of the district’s physical boundary, but the legal boundary is defined by the 16 tax parcels in the historic district inventory. 1 Blocks 1, 2, 4, and 5 were are square blocks that were entirely devoted to the operations of the plant from the time of primary development to the sale of the firm in 1954. Blocks 3, 6, and 9 are partial blocks that were devoted to the operations of the plan from the time of primary development until the sale of the firm in 1954. Blocks 7 is a square block that was historically owned and partly developed for the purposes of the plant but was ultimately subdivided and sold off over time during the period of significance. Block 8 was owned, developed, and operated for the purposes of the plant, but was sold off during the period of significance. In addition, the Keystone Saw Works was a name that evolved overtime, including the Keystone Saw, Tool, Steel, and File Works. Captions from the previous page: Figure 1.

  • Installation Advice
    Installation Advice Tools Required Firstly, you’ll need the right tools for the job. Those are 1. A Dynamic mitre box. 2. A Dynamic polystyrene saw. 3. A Tape measure. 4. A caulking gun. 5. A chalk line. 6. A sponge. All these tools are in the Dynamic DIY Kit. Also included is an installation CD which will provide your customer with invaluable tips to assist in the installation of their Dynamic products. Mitring (Cutting) the Cornice A common mistake is to lay the cornice “flat” and cut as if it was architrave or a picture frame. Remember that the cornice is propped against the back plate of the mitre box (see images below) – The cornice is always put in the mitre box “upside down” - i.e. the edge that will be fixed to the ceiling should be on the base (horizontal section) of the box. There are two main cuts necessary when doing an installation job. The first is the simple straight cut. Place the cornice in the mitre Box and using the polystyrene saw, cut straight across using the 90º guide. The second type of cut will be necessary when cutting the cornice for corners, in other words, cutting the mitres. The first mitre we will deal with is the inside 90º mitre as this is the most common mitre. Place the cornice in the mitre box & using the 45º guide on the right hand side of the mitre box, cut the cornice. You will now have the cornice for the left hand side of your corner. For the right hand side of your corner, repeat the above but use the left hand side 45º guide to cut the cornice.

  • Chapter Thirty-Eight 'Militia and Disarmament' (August 1912) Paul
    Chapter Thirty-Eight ‘Militia and Disarmament’ (August 1912) Paul Lensch In 1912 the author of this article, Paul Lensch (1873– 1926), was one of the main anti-revisionist spokes- men of the Left, whose positions he had defended at party conferences in Essen (1907), Jena (1911) and Chemnitz (1912). From 1908 to 1913, Lensch served as chief editor of the Leipziger Volkszeitung, and in 1912 he was elected to the German Reichstag for the SPD. He opposed war-credits in October 1914 but later changed his view. In 1915, the Lensch- Cunow-Haenisch group was formed with the pur- pose of endorsing German imperialism on Marxist grounds, especially through their organ Die Glocke (‘The Bell’), edited by Parvus. As an Anglophobe, Lensch regarded Germany as the ‘revolutionary’ side in the conflict, with England as the ‘counter- revolutionary’. When the SPD split in October 1917, Lensch became one of the journalistic spokesmen of the SPD-majority grouped around Friedrich Ebert. In November 1918, he played an important role as a contact-man between the Council of People’s Repre- sentatives and the military leadership. Lensch then withdrew from party politics and, in 1919, received a professorship of economics at the University of Berlin through his friend, the Prussian Minister of 562 • Paul Lensch Culture Konrad Haenisch. He also worked as a foreign-policy correspondent for the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, a journal belonging to the concern of Hugo Stinnes. In 1922, Lensch left the SPD and became increasingly associated with conservative opponents of Social Democracy until his death in 1926.1 The article translated here dates from Lensch’s radical early years, when he challenged Karl Kautsky for proposing disarmament agreements as the appropriate tactical response to imperialism.
