Moss, Ph.D., Executive Director Emeritus 2 President’s Report In 2014, the Athenæum of Philadelphia celebrated the two-hundredth anniversary of its founding. It was a year of celebration and special events that focused attention on the Athenæum’s unique collections and rich history, ending with an interesting glimpse into what might be part of its future. The 200th Anniversary Committee, so ably chaired by Board member Penny Hunt, was responsible for the planning and implementation of the various parties and programs throughout President Lea Carson Sherk presents the Athenæum medal to Laurie Olin at the 200th Anniversary Gala. Photo by Jim the year. The Committee was a hard-working Carroll. and detail-oriented group of Board members and stakeholders who made each event memorable. Useful Arts and Useful Knowledge, honoring the founders of the Athenæum, opened on April 7 at the Annual Meeting. Later that month, on April 24, many of our Stakeholders and friends enjoyed “A Splendid Celebration”. The meal was a lavish three- course presentation on a past, present and future theme. Honored that evening was Laurie D. Olin, the distinguished landscape architect, who became an Athenæum Fellow and received the medal of the Athenæum of Philadelphia. C. Ford Peatross, the Founding Director of the Center for Architecture, Design and Engineering at the Library of Congress, was the speaker at the September 12 opening of the Treasures of the Athenaeum show, the first in an enlightening series of lectures by distinguished scholars on the various--and wonderful-- objets d’art in the Athenæum’s own museum collection. The Capstone Party for the series was held on 3 November 12, featuring the premiere of the short film made by Sam Katz for our bicentennial and a book- signing by former Executive Director Roger W. Moss of Athenæum Profiles: A Not-for-profit Education. The Athenæum looked into the future to end its celebratory year. The exhibition of architectural drawings submitted by student and professional architects for its competition Looking Forward: Re- Imagining the Athenæum of Philadelphia opened on December 5th. Entries were received from around the globe, with 139 participants in both categories, judged by a blue-ribbon panel of architects and historians. The Roger W. Moss symposium was held the following day, continuing the theme with lectures on the future of Philadelphia architecture. So many talented and energetic people were instrumental in making our anniversary year a success. On behalf of the Athenæum’s Board of Directors, I thank them all for their significant contribution to our history and our mission. In April 2014, Donald H. Roberts was unanimously elected to the Athenæum’s Board of Directors. A longtime stockholder, Don is a principal of Brown Brothers Harriman and has a B.A. degree from Princeton University and an MBA from Columbia University. He brings his expertise to the Board Finance Committee. Lea Carson Sherk President 4 Executive Director’s Report The Fiscal Year 2013/14 not only provided occasions for our usual packed schedule of programming, but also launched the Athenæum’s celebration of its 200th Anniversary. Fall’s exhibition offering was accomplished with the assistance of Athenæum stockholder and renowned landscape architect Laurie Olin, who consented to showing his travel sketchbooks in our Haas gallery. Laurie Olin: Sketchbooks from the Mediterranean was accompanied by a gallery talk in October, as well as the remarks that Mr. Olin made on the evening of the opening. Laurie Olin: Sketchbooks from the Mediterranean exhibition. 5 The Athenæum also worked with the Italian Professionals in Philadelphia group to bring Paolo Desideri, an architect based in Rome, to the Athenaeum for a conversation with Philadelphia architect Peter Bohlin. This lively presentation was moderated by Inga Saffron from the Philadelphia Inquirer. In October, reflecting our membership’s literary interests, Carl Rollyson returned to the Athenæum with his latest book, Amy Lowell Anew. He was followed at the end of October by Kenneth Alford, whose Saving Aladdin’s Cave discussed the plundering of Hermann Goring’s War Trophies. Other lectures in the fall season included John Whitenight’s “Capturing an Era under Glass,” which coincided with the launch of his book Under Glass, a profusely illustrated exploration of Victorian glass domes. This program was co- sponsored by the Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion and the Victorian Society in America. Fall continued with an all-day workshop administered by the Conservation Center for Art & Historical Artifacts which concentrated on “Interpreting and Preserving Oral Histories,” a topic especially relevant to the Athenæum because of the many oral histories conducted by curator Bruce Laverty and Athenæum Board member Hyman Myers with Philadelphia-area architects. Two lectures rounding out the fall season took the audience abroad and then returned it to Philadelphia. Rosemary Flannery’s Angels of Paris: An Architectural Tour through the History of Paris beguiled the audience with romantic views of sculptured angels that she has discovered while residing in Paris, and David Traub’s Searching for Philadelphia: The Concealed City reminded the audience of the hidden squares and tiny streets of our own city. Throughout the lecture series other activities also marked the fall season, including an Ancestry Library workshop with Jill Lee, the Athenæum’s Circulation Librarian, who regularly assists our members with genealogical searches. The Athenæum provides Ancestry.com for members to use on their own on the premises, but Ms. Lee’s help is often welcome. Another addition to the fall program schedule was a walking tour of Washington Square organized by the Athenæum’s Architectural Advisory Committee, chaired by Board member Dr. Satoko I. Parker. In addition to members generously opening their homes to us around the Square, Board President Lea Carson Sherk braved a wintry October Saturday in the middle of the Square to share her knowledge of the many publishing houses which used to surround Washington Square. 6 The fall season culminated in the Annual Roger W. Moss Symposium, generously funded by the Barra Foundation. In December 2013 the topic was “La France `a Philadelphie: Joseph Bonaparte and the French Influence in 19th Century Philadelphia.” With help on organization from Patricia Tyson Stroud a distinguished group of speakers was gathered, including Wendy Cooper speaking on furniture, Elizabeth Laurent on Stephen Girard’s Collection, Joseph Rishel on the Bonaparte painting collection, and Constance A. Webster on Point Breeeze archaeological tour group. the French garden in the United States. Patricia Tyson Stroud herself concentrated on Joseph Bonaparte and Point Breeze. A tour of Point Breeze, planned for the Sunday of the Bonaparte symposium weekend, did take place although an unexpected and dramatic snow storm delayed our bus to New Jersey. Nevertheless, a hardy band of people journeyed to Point Breeze, where they were warmly greeting by Peter Tucci, Brother Patrick Hogan, and Dr. Richard Veit, who gave a very interesting presentation on his archaeological exploration of the site. The symposium also marked the move of the Bonaparte Collection from the back hall of the Athenæum into a room which at one point was titled the “Bonaparte Parlor.” This places the exhibition directly across from the Haas Gallery where the Athenæum’s changing exhibitions occur and consolidates our exhibition 7 space at the front of the building. We were aided in our development of the new space by loans from Athenæum member Peter Tucci, who has been collecting Joseph Bonapartiana for many years. Another feature of the Bonaparte Symposium was the exhibition curated by Athenæum members Daniel Traister and Samuel Streit Samuel Breck (1771-1862): Books from the Library of a Philadelphia Francophile. Streit and Traister had previously mounted an exhibition for the Athenæum of the Evan Turner Collection, and this 2013 exhibition also brought into focus the many books in both English and French which Samuel Breck, who served as President of the Athenæum Board in the mid-19th century, donated. Traister and Streit delivered an illuminating gallery talk on the collection in January 2014 which drew upon their accumulated knowledge of Breck and of rare books. By February 2014 the winter/spring lecture series could be launched, and the Athenæum began with Bob Brier’s Egyptomania which traced the love of all things Egyptian from its origins to the present. By March we had asked Richard Veit to re-run his lecture on “Archaeology at Point Breeze: Exploring Joseph Bonaparte’s Estate,” which had been sorely missed by so many in December due to the snowstorm.

Society Hill Towers - During the Colonial era, this section of Philadelphia was referred to as "Society's Hill." The name was derived from the Free Society of Traders, an early form of stock exchange, which had offices and warehouses on nearby Front Street. The area had always been a commercial district. Just prior to the Towers' development, it was the site of the main wholesale fruit and produce center for the city of Philadelphia. In the late 1950s, Society Hill was targeted for restoration by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, in cooperation with the Redevelopment Authority. Part of the restoration included the construction of Society Hill Towers and a group of adjacent town houses, all designed by architect I. M. Pei. The project earned the Progressive Architecture Award for Design, in 1961. The buildings were completed in 1963. They are currently condominiums. (http://www.societyhilltowers.com/) 2. Dock Street - Within the old incorporated city of Philadelphia — the city proper as it was once called — every street is laid out at right angles with another except one. This is Dock Street, which takes a curving or irregular course, from southeast to northwest, between the vicinity of Spruce Street and comes to an end at Third Street, in front of the old Bank of the United States.

  • Infrastructural Gigantic
    Under Philadelphia 50 Chapter 4 Under Philadelphia, Infrastructural Gigantic Below the streets of Philadelphia and normally invisible to those above lies a maze of utility lines, trolley tracks, sewers, privies and buried foundation walls unseparated by archaeological strata. In its working depths, Philadelphia’s underground realm, like all cities, collects past and present in a simultaneous history that recalls Sigmund Freud’s city of the psyche, a compressed Rome in which memory and myth are impossibly merged. Underground utility systems make simultaneous what in nature is dispersed, collecting almost elemental substances from sources far away into an unnatural proximity below the street: water, electricity, and natural gas.1 Their industrial history also is compressed below the pavement in networks of tunnels, pipes, and wires that are built continuously so old and new elements coexist. Philadelphia’s Department of Highways maintained maps of the underground but stopped revising in 1989 so entire systems such as cable TV are now unknowable to the public. A telephone number, prefaced with the request, “Call before you dig,” locates underground utilities through a computerized network, but maps are held by private utility companies as proprietary knowledge. Each utility maintains its own network and has its own manholes in the street for access, so Second Street at Headhouse Square, for example, is pockmarked with manhole covers (24 at one intersection) and often disrupted by utility work. The increasing complexity of infrastructure further obscures the urban underground so that it is not completely knowable even to workers. Lines under Headhouse link with invisible networks throughout the city and beyond, giving lie to discrete buildings within discrete property lines above.

  • Frankford / Bridesburg / Wissinoming / Tacony
    HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT CLUSTER 1: FRANKFORD, TACONY, WISSINOMING, BRIDESBURG PREPARED BY EMILY T. COOPERMAN, PHD FOR THE PRESERVATION ALLIANCE FOR GREATER PHILADELPHIA JULY 2009 ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH AND CULTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTING HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CLUSTER 1 PHILADELPHIA PRESERVATION PLAN PHASE 1 2008-2009 INTRODUCTION HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CLUSTER 1 FRANKFORD, TACONY, WISSINOMING AND BRIDESBURG: INDUSTRIAL VILLAGES OF THE UPPER DELAWARE RIVER WATERFRONT EDITED, WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY EMILY T. COOPERMAN, PH.D. Cluster 1 consists of a group of neighborhoods closely connected to the Delaware River and the smaller waterways that formerly fed into it (Frankford Creek and its tributaries as well as Wissininoming Creek) in a portion of the city that was accessed mainly by boat and a single roadway in the first century of Philadelphia’s settlement. Like many other areas of the city, the neighborhoods of Cluster 1 were developed to a great extent because of the industries that were founded there, and their fortunes have risen and fallen with the city’s industrial growth and subsequent decay. Frankford was one of the earliest settled villages in the former Philadelphia County. Bridesburg was built on flat land made habitable by fill and bulwark along the riverfront. The land in Wissinoming and Tacony was characterized by country seats and farms until past the mid-nineteenth century when Henry Disston moved his Saw Works from Northern Liberties to land that had not yet been developed except for agriculture use. In the twentieth century, these neighborhoods became more closely connected to Center City through the completion of the Frankford Elevated subway in 1915.
