Evergreen Ave. (1883; Wilson Eyre, Architect) This shingle-style house was designed by noted architect Wilson Eyre Jr., and was heralded as innovative in form and plan and for its mix of materials. All of its additions between initial construction and 1910 were by Eyre, illustrating the evolution of his style. After use as a nursing home, Anglecot was converted into nine condominiums in 1982-83 in a project that restored the single- family style facade and conserved the surrounding open space.

    americanbungalow.com Summer 2018 AmericAn BungAlow Issue 96 summer 2018 THE CHARLES LANG FREER HOUSE. THE BLUESTONE WAS QUARRIED IN FREER’S HOMETOWN, KINGSTON, NEW YORK. THE HORSESHOE ARCH IS EMBEDDED IN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY THE CARRIAGE HOUSE. IN 1904–6 WILSON EYRE, JR. REMODELED IT TO ACCOM- MODATE JAMES WHISTLER’S FAMOUS PEACOCK ROOM, AND AN ADDITIONAL TOP-LIGHTED ART GALLERY. RIGHT: THE FLIGHT OF STAIRS IS BROKEN AT A LANDING WITH AN ORIEL WINDOW. EYRE DIMINISHED THE VERTICAL THRUST OF THE STAIRS TO AVOID DISTURBING THE DOMINANT HORIZONTAL LINES. NOTE THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE HORSESHOE ARCH ON THE INTERIOR. THE LEAF- FORM LIGHTING FIXTURE, DESIGNED BY EYRE, AND MODELED BY EDWARD MAENE, IS VISIBLE AT TOP RIGHT. BY DOUGLAS J. FORSYTH Charles hen preservationists think of Detroit, their inclination is to mourn Lang for buildings lost over W the years. Certainly many fi ne structures have come down. From the early Freer An 1950s, the city suffered a radical loss of population. Fortunately, residents now show signs of returning. So we have reason to celebrate this renewal American by calling attention to the astonish- ing inventory of fi ne buildings that remain. One striking example is the shin- Success gle-style dwelling that Charles Lang Freer (1854–1919) had built, begin- ning in 1890, on E. Ferry Ave. (now Story E. Ferry St.). His architect was Wil- son Eyre, Jr. (1858–1944), a master of the shingle style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Thanks to the work of the late Vincent Scully, THE MAIN HALL.

CENTRAL LIBRARY HABS NO. PA-6749 Location: 1901Vine Street, bounded by 19xth , 20>thUi and Wood Streets, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. The library faces south onto Logan Circle and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway that runs at a diagonal from Vine Street. Owner: The library is part of the Free Library of Philadelphia system and is owned by the City of Philadelphia. Present Use: Central library Significance: The Central Library, built between 1917 and 1927, was designed by well-known architect Horace Trumbauer and his associate Julian Abele and it is the flagship of the Philadelphia Free Library system. Favoring French architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, they based their design on the twin Ministere de la Marine and Hotel de Crillon on Place de la Concorde in Paris. The library was the first structure to be erected along the city's new parkway, which was likewise inspired by Parisian precedents, namely the Champs d'Elysee. It too was the work of Horace Trumbauer, with architects Paul Cret, Clarence Zantzinger, and French planner Jacques Greber. Intended as a grand boulevard linking City Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Fairmount Park, it was later named for Benjamin Franklin. The parkway and the civic structures and monuments that line it were a product of Philadelphia's City Beautiful movement.
