ADDRESS: SW CORNER OF 13TH AND LOCUST STREETS Proposal: Relocate section of subway entrance; salvage and store section of subway entrance Review Requested: Final Approval Owner: City of Philadelphia; Delaware River Port Authority Applicant: Gregory Mastalerz, Sowinski Sullivan Architects History: 1952; PATCO Speedline Subway Entrance Individual Designation: None District Designation: Cast-Iron Subway Entrances Historic District, Contributing, 3/8/2019 Staff Contact: Meredith Keller, [email protected]
BACKGROUND: In 2019, the Historical Commission designated the Cast Iron Subway Entrances Thematic Historic District, which includes historic entrances, ranging in date from 1928 to 1955, located along several subway and trolley lines throughout the city. As part of that designation, the Historical Commission maintains jurisdiction over the cast iron railings, granite curbs, and any historic auxiliary components, such as lamp standards, signage, and integral and free-standing light fixtures. The Historical Commission does not exercise jurisdiction over the steps, handrails, walls below the curbs, or any underground features.
This application proposes to reconfigure the subway entrance at the southwest corner of 13th and Locust Streets to provide ADA accessibility. The entrance was created in 1952 as part of the Locust Street Subway line, which is now part of the PATCO system. All of the station’s entrances retain the original cast iron railings. The southwest entrance would be removed to allow for the installation of an elevator, and the railing would be salvaged and reused to replace non-original railings elsewhere within the PATCO/SEPTA transportation system.
SCOPE OF WORK: o Salvage portion of existing cast iron railing at southwest corner of 13th & Locust PATCO station and relocate it to 10th and Locust Streets. o Demolish and infill existing stair. o Construct elevator.
STANDARDS FOR REVIEW: The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and Guidelines include: Accessibility Guideline: Recommended: Providing barrier-free access that promotes independence for the disabled person to the highest degree practicable, while preserving significant historic features. o The current subway entrance would be demolished to allow for the installation of an elevator leading to the concourse that would provide ADA accessibility at the station. Portions of the existing railings would be removed from their current location and reinstalled at a nearby PATCO entrance to replace non-original railings. Remaining portions of the entrance would be salved and stored for future use. Due to the salvaging and reuse of the railings, the work complies with this standard and is necessary in the public interest.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval, pursuant to the Accessibility Guideline.
