  • 1826 CHESTNUT ST Name of Resource: Aldine Theatre Proposed
    ADDRESS: 1826 CHESTNUT ST Name of Resource: Aldine Theatre Proposed Action: Designation Property Owner: Sam’s Place Realty Associates LP Nominator: Kevin Block, Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia Staff Contact: Laura DiPasquale, [email protected] OVERVIEW: This nomination proposes to designate the property at 1826 Chestnut Street as historic and list it on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. The nomination contends that the former Aldine Theatre, constructed in 1921, is significant under Criteria for Designation A, E, and J. Under Criterion A, the nomination argues that the theatre has significant character, interest, or value as one of the last remaining first-run movie palaces in Philadelphia. Under Criterion E, the nomination explains that the Aldine was the work of prominent local builders William Steele & Sons. Under Criterion J, the nomination argues that the Aldine represents the commercial development of Chestnut Street in the prestigious Rittenhouse Square neighborhood after the turn of the twentieth century. Following the submission of the nomination and notification to the property owner, the nominator uncovered additional information not presented in the nomination, which is posted on the Historical Commission’s website as additional information. The Committee on Historic Designation previously reviewed a nomination for the property in March 1986 and recommended against designation owing to the loss of architectural integrity of the interior and the front doors. The Historical Commission adopted the recommendation of the Committee at its April 1986 meeting and declined to designate the property. The staff notes that the interior of the property is not under consideration, and that the Historical Commission routinely designates properties that have alterations.

  • The Flying Scottsman" Tossups
    "The Flying Scottsman" Tossups 1. Born in 1784 in Minden, by the age of 34 he had compiled a catalog including 50,000 stars. Among his most siginificant innovations was the development of a series of functions for use in astronomical calculations that now bear hisname. For ten pOints, who was this Prussian astronomer, who in 1838, while observing the star 61 Cygni became the first man to successfully measure the parallax of a star? ANS: Friedrich Bessell 2. Nicknamed "Bunny," five years after graduating from Princeton, he became editor of "Vanity Fair" magazine. A writer of broad interests, his books include the novel "I Thought of Daisy", the sociological study "Red, Black, Blond, and Olive", and a study of symbolism, "Axel's Castle". For ten pOints, name this man who translated the Dead Sea Scrolls and examined European radicalism in "To the Finland Station." ANS: Edmund Wilson 3. The son of a fireman, he attended night school in his late teens to learn to read so that he could study the work of James Watt. The work of Richard Trevithick served as the building blocks for this man's accomplishments, much as the work of John Fitch was followed by that of Robert Fulton. For ten pOints, who was this inventor, who in 1830 opened between Liverpool and Manchester the first railroad using steam powered locomotives? ANS: George Stephenson 4. Troubled with chronic poor health throughout his life, he habitually worked while staying in bed. A devout Catholic due to his Jesuit education, upon hearing of the condemnation of Galileo by the church, he abandoned a book supporting the Copernican system.
