The boundary of the resource begins at a point located at a distance of 279’9” west from the northwest corner of McCallum Street and Walnut Lane. From this point the boundary line extends west along Walnut Lane, 60’, and extends in depth, northward, at a right angle to Walnut Lane, 91’10”, including a 3’9” wide alley. The boundary line then extends east, perpendicular to Walnut Lane, 60’. The boundary line then moves south, at a right angle to Walnut Lane, 91’10” back to the starting point. 125 W. Walnut Lane / George T. Pearson residence. Page 3 Section 6: Description of Building This unusual house located at 125 W. Walnut Lane stands out amidst the parade of remarkable houses that line both sides of Walnut Lane. The house is unusual in its overall design as well as its placement on the lot. The house presents two primary volumes, a three-and-one-half story main block and a two-and-one-half story wing, and three secondary volumes, a two-story rear section attached to the main block and wing and two one-story rear additions at the back of the assemblage. The main block of the house sits close to the sidewalk along the north side of Walnut Lane; while the wing is located to the west of the main block and recessed from the street. The space created by the set back of the wing is enclosed by a brick garden wall laid in Flemish bond and topped with a limestone cap, which boasts corner limestone balls. The roof lines over the house are intricate. The main block has a gambrel with a Dutch gable, and the wing a gambrel with a turret. The main block of the house has several exterior finishes. The first and second stories are rendered in textured stucco. The third story is finished in half timbering on its west elevation, and a Dutch gable on its south elevation. The gable is laid in Flemish bond brick work. The historic roof is green slate. Some sections of the roofing have been replaced with asphalt shingles. The south elevation has a single register of windows that extends all three stories. The first and second floors have ganged wood double-hung windows. Each window has leaded and stained glass. The third floor window is a triple casement window in the Gothic style with diamond pattern leaded-glass. Each window has a decorative Gothic hood over the lintel. The west elevation of the main block has a register of windows that extends three stories. The same pattern, a wood double-hung two-over-one window, is found in each floor. The upper sash is in the Gothic style with diamond leaded glass. The same window type is repeated in the third story along the west elevation as a single window, without a corresponding register below. The attic story along the west elevation has a single window in the middle of the gable end. The window is a wood six-light casement. The east elevation of the main block is faced in textured stucco and it is mostly a blank party wall, with some punched windows. This elevation is mostly obscured by thick vegetation on the neighboring parcel. A single brick chimney is located above the gambrel. It has a brick and terracotta cap. The wing has an enclosed porch at ground floor. The enclosure wraps around the corner to the west and extends to the middle of the west elevation of the wing. The porch has a total of seven bays; four on the south elevation and three on the west elevation. The easternmost bay of the porch contains a single-hung wood window with leaded-glass transom. The bay to the west of that window has a wood door with decorative metal work that leads into the enclosed porch space. The two remaining bays on that elevation have wood windows. The same window pattern is repeated in both bays; it consists of a six-light transom with Gothic arches and six square lights below with panels. The three bays on the side have the same window pattern minus the lower panels. The west elevation of the wing is finished in common bond brick at ground floor and a single double-hung window. The porch has a pent eve with a metal roof along the south elevation only. The second floor has a three-sided bay along the south elevation with half timbering and slate. The rest of the wing is finished in half timbering. The roof over the wing is a gambrel with a turret. The roof is covered in slate. Some sections of the roofing have been replaced with asphalt shingles. The south elevation has a single window at the second floor; a ganged double-hung wood window with arched lower and upper sashes. The west elevation along the wing has two windows; each is a double-hung three-over-one wood window. The upper sash has Gothic arches and leaded glass. The third floor has a single window in the middle of the gable. The window is a ganged casement with leaded glass. At the third floor of 125 W. Walnut Lane / George T. Pearson residence.

  • The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century
    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’s Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David W. Young Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Saul Cornell David Steigerwald Copyright by David W. Young 2009 Abstract This dissertation examines how public history and historic preservation have changed during the twentieth century by examining the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1683, Germantown is one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, with resonant landmarks related to the nation’s political, military, industrial, and cultural history. Efforts to preserve the historic sites of the neighborhood have resulted in the presence of fourteen historic sites and house museums, including sites owned by the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the City of Philadelphia. Germantown is also a neighborhood where many of the ills that came to beset many American cities in the twentieth century are easy to spot. The 2000 census showed that one quarter of its citizens live at or below the poverty line. Germantown High School recently made national headlines when students there attacked a popular teacher, causing severe injuries. Many businesses and landmark buildings now stand shuttered in community that no longer can draw on the manufacturing or retail economy it once did. Germantown’s twentieth century has seen remarkably creative approaches to contemporary problems using historic preservation at their core.

The Social Effects of Preservation: Social Wellbeing and the Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program in Philadelphia Abstract This thesis was intended to begin to fill in a gap in preservation literature by beginning research in Philadelphia and evaluating how, if at all, historic preservation affects social wellbeing. By considering tax credit investment alongside various statistical measures of social wellbeing in Philadelphia census block groups, this study tested some hypotheses about the power of preservation in community revitalization. The primary hypothesis tested is that historic preservation activity improves social wellbeing in Philadelphia. More specific hypotheses include: • Historic preservation improves the physical appearance of neighborhoods. • Historic preservation reduces crime, especially building-specific crime such as arson and graffiti. • Historic preservation preserves affordable housing. • Historic preservation creates more educated communities.

  • Historic Preservation Recommendations for the Upper Northwest Planning District
    PHILADELPHIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION HISTORIC PRESERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE UPPER NORTHWEST PLANNING DISTRICT JON FARNHAM, KIM CHANTRY, LAURA DIPASQUALE, AND MEREDITH KELLER, STAFF OF THE PHILADELPHIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION AND CORY KEGERISE, STAFF OF THE PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL & MUSEUM COMMISSION 2017 1 INTRODUCTION The Philadelphia City Planning Commission has requested that the Philadelphia Historical Commission review the historical development of Upper Northwest Planning District and ongoing historic preservation initiatives in the area and then offer recommendations for enhancing those initiatives that might be incorporated into the plan, one of the 18 district plans that will accompany the overall Comprehensive City Plan, Philadelphia2035. In response to the request, the staff of the Historical Commission offers the following informal recommendations that have not been vetted by the 14- member Historical Commission itself. THE UPPER NORTHWEST PLANNING DISTRICT The Upper Northwest Planning District encompasses the neighborhoods of Germantown, East Germantown, Blue Bell Hill, West Mount Airy, East Mount Airy, and Chestnut Hill. 2 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE UPPER NORTHWEST PLANNING DISTRICT The area comprising the Upper Northwest Planning District was home to the Native Americans of the Lenni Lenape tribe long before the arrival of Europeans. The area is bounded at the southwest by the Wissahickon Creek, a corruption of the Lenape phrase meaning “catfish stream,” and at the northeast by the Wingohocking Creek, a corruption of “a favorite spot for planting.” German settlers, at first thirteen Quaker and Mennonite families from the Lower Rhineland town of Krefeld seeking religious freedom, began arriving in the area in 1683. The group was led by Francis Daniel Pastorius, who negotiated with William Penn for the 5700-acre tract.
