M E S S A G E

One of the Preservation Alliance’s most important tasks is to increase public awareness about

the important ways the preservation of historic properties contributes to the economy, culture, distinctive character and enjoyment of Philadelphia as a place to live and visit. We try to do that in many ways. Our Awards program in May (highlighted in this issue) is intended to honor individuals and organizations that have made important contributions to historic preservation in the previous year. As the 2012 award winners demonstrate, historic preservation is contributing to rebuilding housing and neighborhoods, restoring churches, supporting small and distinctive retail businesses, and provid-ing locations for arts and cultural events.

Another effort to increase public awareness is our recently redesigned Preserve Philadelphia website (www.pre-servephiladelphia.org). Our goal is to place on this website “everything you ever wanted to know about historic pres-ervation in Philadelphia.” The current version is just a beginning. Take a look at it and send us your suggestions about what we should add to make it an even more useful resource.

We are also working closely with neighborhood organizations in different sections of Philadelphia to help make them more aware of the historic resourc-es in their own neighborhoods and make sure that they are included in the City Planning Commission’s District Plans. Our Pride of Place program provides both guidance and grants to help discov-er those distinctive resources that only people who live in a neighborhood really know about.

And of course this newsletter is intend-ed to increase public awareness. What will you do when you finish reading it? You can help us increase awareness about historic preservation simply by passing this newsletter on to a friend or colleague who might also be interested in knowing about Philadelphia’s rich his-toric resources. The more people who know and appreciate the architectural wonders of the city, the more likely it is that these treasures will be preserved and used wisely.

Executive Director

Richard Webster to Receive Biddle Award for Lifetime Achievement

Athenaeum Recognized for Public Service

The Athenaeum of Philadelphia is the recipient of the Preservation Alliance’s 2012 Public Service Award.

The Athenaeum was founded in 1814 as a member supported special collections library with a focus on materials “connected with the history and antiquities of America, and the useful arts.” The Athenaeum is renowned for its outstanding collection of architectural drawings, including critical materials for such prominent architects as Thomas U. Walter, John Notman, Mellor Meigs & Howe and Horace Trumbauer.

Since 2000, the Athenaeum has respond-ed to its mission of “disseminating useful knowledge” for public benefit by facilitating two collaborative projects that have made a vast range of resources about Philadelphia architecture and the history of the develop-ment of the city available to both scholars and the general public.

The Philadelphia Architects and Buildings website—a collaborative project with the University of Pennsylvania Architectural Archives, the Philadelphia Historical Commission, and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission—now contains over 133,000 images and infor-mation on over 40,000 structures in the

Philadelphia region, as well as biographical sketches of 2,500 architects. The website (www.philadelphiabuildings.org) is widely recognized as a national model for present-ing authoritative building history resources, and it received the 2005 Henry Magaziner Award from AIA Philadelphia.

In 2005, the Athenaeum, as a member of the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries, took the lead in creat-ing and hosting a web-based repository of geographically organized historical infor-

mation about Philadelphia under the aus-pices of the Greater Philadelphia GeoHistory Network. The GeoHistory website (www.philageohistory.org) contains over 7,000 maps, property atlases, city directories and other items documenting the history of the city from the 1600s to today.

Through these exceptional projects the Athenaeum has played a unique role in facil-itating public access to the rich resources of Philadelphia institutions regarding the archi-tecture and historic development of the city.

Richard J. Webster, PhD is the recipi-ent of the Preservation Alliance’s 2012 James Biddle Award for life-

time achievement in historic preservation for his significant contributions as a teacher, civic leader and author. For thirty-seven years he was a Professor of History and American Studies at West Chester University. He coordinated the interdisciplinary American Studies program for thirty-two years, engag-ing thousands of students in exploring the intellectual, artistic and material culture of American civilization. His broad range of interests led him to offer such diverse courses

as “Women in America” and “The Turbulent 1960s,” as well as Art Department courses on “Modern American Architecture.” Dick was instrumental in bringing the resources of West Chester University to bear on Chester County by serving for twenty years as co-chair of a conference on material culture jointly sponsored by the university and the Chester County Historical Society.

Dick has been a long-time trustee of the Chester County Historical Society and is pres-ently secretary and vice-chair of the Historic Preservation Commission of Thornbury Township, where he has lived for thirty-eight years. For eight years he served on the Historic Preservation Board of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

As an author, Dick’s publications have been an important resource for scholars and students. Philadelphia Preserved: Catalog of the Historic American Buildings Survey, published in 1976 and revised in 1981, is still a definitive resource as is Pennsylvania Architecture: the Historic American Building Survey 1933 – 1990, published in 2000, which he co-wrote. He was also a contributor to Buildings of Pennsylvania:

Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania, pub-lished in 2010. Dick has been a long-time lecturer in the Center for Architecture’s “Building Philadelphia” lecture series and has served as a consultant, assisting various archi-tectural firms with historic property reports.

New Additions to the Philadelphia Register

The Philadelphia Historical Commission added five new properties to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places at its meeting on March 9, voting unanimously to approve the nominations of the Kensington Soup Kitchen (1036-38 Crease Street), Penn Treaty Park (1301 Beach Street), the Rotunda (4008-26 Walnut Street) and two private residences

designed by prominent Philadelphia architect Frank Miles Day (1219 Spruce Street and 240 W. Tulpehocken Street). This was especially welcome news in Fishtown, where two of the five properties are located and where community groups have been working closely with the Preservation Alliance to secure protection for the neighborhood’s important historic resources. Despite being one of the oldest areas of the city, only a handful of Fishtown buildings are currently protected by listing on the Philadelphia Register. The last time the Commission designated a Fishtown property was in 1984.

The Kensington Soup Kitchen, built in 1884, was nominated by the New Kensington CDC for both its cultural and archi-tectural significance as one of the last surviving soup society buildings in the city. The Preservation Alliance also featured the building on its 2011 Endangered Properties List; while it remains vacant, designation now protects it from demolition or adverse alteration.

Penn Treaty Park was recognized for its association with one of the most famous stories of Philadelphia’s founding: William Penn’s treaty with Lenni Lenape chief Tamanend in 1682. The park contains one of the oldest public monuments in the city: a marble obelisk erected in 1827 on the site of the famous Treaty Elm, which toppled in a windstorm in 1810. The nomination was spearheaded by the Friends of Penn Treaty Park and the Penn Treaty Museum, with technical assistance from the Philadelphia Department of Parks and Recreation and the Preservation Alliance.

The Rotunda, formerly the First Church of Christ Scientist, is the only Philadelphia building designed by the noted archi-tectural firm of Carrere & Hastings. Built in 1911, the build-ing is now owned by the University of Pennsylvania and used for a variety of arts programs. The nomination was written by Penn preservation graduate student Collette Kinane.

Historical Commission staff nominated the other two prop-erties approved for designation, the Theodore M. Etting Residence (1219 Spruce Street) and the Harry K. Cummings Residence (240 W. Tulpehocken Street). Both were designed by Frank Miles Day and are among the last of his sur-viving Philadelphia buildings not protected by historic designation. The Etting Residence is a three-story brick and stone townhouse built in 1890 in Washington Square West. It is noteworthy as a rare Philadelphia example of Romanesque Revival residential architecture. The Cummings Residence, built three years later in Germantown, is a sprawl-ing Renaissance Revival design.

PA Senate Approves Tax Credit Bill

In a unanimous 49-0 vote on April 2nd, the Pennsylvania State Senate passed the Historic Preservation Incentive Act, a bill that would establish state tax credits for the rehabilitation of historic properties. Currently, 37 states have

some form of rehabilitation tax credit, a tool proven to attract private investment and protect community character. The bill, introduced by Senator Lloyd Smucker (R-Lancaster), will now go before the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, where similar legislation was introduced last year by Representative Bob Freeman (D-Northampton). Visit our website at http://www.preservationalliance.com/advo-cacy/issues_taxcredit.php for the latest developments on this important legislation.

Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company Building Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church of Germantown Elkins Estate

John Coltrane House (Listed 2011)Jazz Appreciation Day in Philadelphia was celebrated on April 13 at the John Coltrane House, 1511 N. 33rd Street. Mayor Michael Nutter welcomed over 100 of the region’s premier musicians who posed for a group photo in front ofthe house, in homage to the famous Art Kane photograph “A Great Day in Harlem.” Mayor Nutter implored the audience gathered that day to help support the revitaliza-tion of this historic site. Donations for the restoration of the house can be made on the Alliance website at www.PreservationAlliance.com/donate.

Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company Building (Listed 2004 and 2010)Long-rumored plans to relocate Police Department head-quarters to this vacant West Philadelphia landmark received a boost in March when Mayor Nutter set aside $9 million in his 2013 budget to fund the move. In the mayor’s proposal, the 1926 Cram & Ferguson design will also house the city morgue and health department. While this is a very positive development for this historic site, the plan calls into ques-tion the fates of two other city-owned properties: the cur-rent Police Administration Building at 9th and Race and the Health Department building at Broad and Lombard. Both are mid-century modern buildings that would be decom-missioned in the current plan, leaving them vulnerable to demolition.

Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church of Germantown (Listed 2009)The Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania has reached an agreement of sale with the Waldorf School, which intends to convert this historic four-building complex into an edu-cational campus. In February, the Philadelphia Historical Commission approved the removal of the main sanctuary’s stained glass windows as a precondition of the transfer. Vacant since 2005, the grounds include buildings designed by Frank Furness, George Hewitt and T.P. Chandler.

Elkins Estate (Listed 2008)In 2009, preservationists celebrated when the non-profit Land Conservancy of Elkins Park acquired the Elkins Estate, a pala-tial 43-acre Gilded Age estate in Montgomery County contain-ing two Horace Trumbauer-designed mansions. The Land Conservancy purchased the property from the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine de Ricci, who had owned and occupied the property since 1932. Though the estate had been immacu-lately maintained, preservationists feared the property would be subdivided or even demolished once the Sisters announced plans to sell it. The Land Conservancy was formed to ensure the preservation of both the mansions and the grounds, oper-ating it as an event center and spiritual retreat.

Unfortunately, the Conservancy declared bankruptcy in late 2010, and in March 2012, a bankruptcy judge restored owner-ship to the Dominican Sisters, who are again searching for new owners for the property. This again-threatened property joins two other Montgomery County estates still languish-ing after listing on the Alliance’s Endangered Properties List: Lynnewood Hall (listed 2003 and 2010) and Laverock Hill (listed 2010). For the latest on these and other endangered properties, visit www.PreservationAlliance.com/endangered.
