  • 900-04 N 63Rd St, Overbrook Gardens Apartments OVERVIEW
    COMMENT ON NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION ADDRESS: 900-04 N 63rd St, Overbrook Gardens Apartments OVERVIEW: The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) has requested comments from the Philadelphia Historical Commission on the National Register nomination of 900-04 N 63rd Street, located in the Overbrook neighborhood of West Philadelphia and historically known as the Overbrook Garden Apartments. PHMC is charged with implementing federal historic preservation regulations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including overseeing the National Register of Historic Places in the state. PHMC reviews all such nominations before forwarding them to the National Park Service for action. As part of the process, PHMC must solicit comments on every National Register nomination from the appropriate local government. The Philadelphia Historical Commission speaks on behalf of the City of Philadelphia in historic preservation matters including the review of National Register nominations. Under federal regulation, the local government not only must provide comments, but must also provide a forum for public comment on nominations. Such a forum is provided during the Philadelphia Historical Commission’s meetings. According to the nomination, Overbrook Garden Apartments is significant in the Area of Community Planning and Development, as a prime example of the large, efficiency apartment building that became a highly desirable form of housing in West Philadelphia during the 1920s. The building is also significant in the Area of Architecture as an important example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Philadelphia and representative of a courtyard-type apartment building, a building form that became prevalent in West Philadelphia during the 1920s. The Period of Significance begins in 1928 when construction completed, and ends in 1930 when construction in West Philadelphia slowed due to Great Depression and interest in the Spanish Colonial Revival style waned.

Preface This cultural history of Narberth was written by Victoria Donohoe, a lifelong resident of Narberth. It was written over a forty-year period from about 1980 until her death in 2018. Victoria did not complete the book but left it in manuscript form in her house. Neighbor and friend Nancy Greene, who had helped type chapters for Victoria in the last years of her life, was able to secure Victoria's writings (and supporting documentation) when Victoria was moved into a retirement home. Victoria died before the book could be completed but Nancy has typed and organized the material as closely as possible to the way she believes Victoria would have wanted it.

  • “We Scrapples”
    Excerpted from Vol. 45 No. 1 of the Tredyffrin Easttown History Quarterly “We Scrapples” Craig TenBroeck Molly TenBroeck grew up in Wayne, and lived in Tredyffrin’s Great Valley during the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s. She wrote a charming manuscript of her life and times, with the humorous title We Scrapples: The Main Line as it Really Was. Her son Craig recently published the manuscript as a tribute to his mother. He shared some stories from the book at the Septem- ber 16, 2007 meeting of the Historical Society. What follows is a transcription from an audio tape of that presentation. _________________ can’t begin to tell you how excited I was to find her typescript after she died in 1986, and was I able to get it published. When she was living, mother couldn't get it published. It was too local, and none of the bigger printing houses would take it. Even the vanity presses wouldn't take it.
