1 NOTES AND DOCUMENTS ^Architectural Qheck J^ist of Historic ^Buildings in the Philadelphia zarea The architectural remains of the early settlement of Philadelphia and the surrounding districts, particularly during the eighteenth century, are probably the most important in quantity, and the equal in quality, of those of any great American city. Several well-known factors contributed to the city's position in this regard. Situated in a particularly fertile countryside, and at the confluence of two great rivers, Philadelphia early became a great seaport, and before the Revolutionary War was the second city in the British Empire. Later it became the capital of the new nation. These developments gave it a pre-eminence that led to an influx of the finest craftsmen in the Colonies. The racial diversity of its early settlers also produced a corresponding diversity in architectural expression which, during the entire course of the eighteenth century, stimulated activity in building and led to the erection of many unusually interesting edifices. Widespread interest in eighteenth-century American buildings first appeared about 1898 with the publication of The Qeorgian Teriody edited by William Rotch Ware. This led to many subsequent surveys of historic buildings. Among these may be mentioned Ralph Clarke Kingman's fh(ew England Qeorgian Architecture (1913); Lois L. Howe's and Constance Fuller's Old Hew England Colonial "Details ( I 9 I 3); Joseph P. Sims' and Charles Willing's Old Philadelphia Colonial Details (1914); Donald Millar's Some Qolonial and Qeorgian Houses (1915); The White Tine Series ( ); Philip B. Wallace's and William Allen Dunn's Colonial Ironwork (1930); their Colonial Churches and Meeting Houses (1931); and Qreat Qeorgian Houses (1933). These are all primarily books of measured drawings, some of which are amplified by photographs and have a more or less technical character. In addition, many works have been published which have a more general appeal, in that they give the history of various buildings and 194

Some of these relate to the development of American architecture as a whole, as in the case of Fiske Kimball's outstanding American Architecture (1928), and the earlier chapters of Talbot Hamlin's excellent volume in the "Pageant of America" series, ^he American Spirit in Architecture. Other such works relate to particular cities. Of those pertaining to Philadelphia, the best is undoubtedly the Portrait of a Qolonial City, by Harold Donaldson Eberlein and Cortlandt Van Dyke Hubbard, published in The desirability of a systematic, national survey of our architectural heritage had long been apparent, but it is doubtful if the national government could have undertaken it had not the need for unemployment relief provided the necessary funds under the Civil Works Administration in At the same time, the great number of unemployed architects and draftsmen supplied a highly trained personnel. This program proved so successful that in 1934 a permanent organization known as the Historic American Buildings Survey was established by agreement between the National Park Service, the American Institute of Architects and the Library of Congress. The following excerpt from the Historic American Buildings Survey catalog published in 1941 furnishes in brief form the purpose and method of this survey: The Historic American Buildings Survey aims at the creation of a permanent graphic record of the existing architectural remains of early dwellers in this country. The historical value of such a record is self-evident, the urgent need for it at the present time scarcely less so. For aside from the constant toll of fire and decay, the constant environmental changes of our rapidly developing civilization swiftly and inevitably wipe out the records of our past. Throughout the country scores of significant landmarks are annually being destroyed. The Survey has no power to arrest this destruction, but by making full and accurate records it can make possible a mental and material reconstruction for the present and future generations. In order to cover the country as thoroughly and rapidly as possible, the organization of the American Institute of Architects has been adopted. This body comprises 71 chapters, dividing among them the whole area of the United States and its territories. For each chapter area a district officer is selected, fitted with antiquarian interest and architectural experience to conduct the Survey within his district. These officers are then called upon to prepare, with the aid of advisers chosen within and without the architectural profession, duplicate card indices of local structures which are considered most worthy of recording. One set of regional cards is kept by each district officer, the other forwarded to the Federal headquarters of the Survey established by the Branch of Plans and Design, National Park Service, in the United States Department of the Interior.

3 I96 NOTES AND DOCUMENTS April The following check list was begun by the writer while District Officer of the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1935, in an attempt to cover the local field and to see what had been surveyed and what remained to be done. It is believed to be the first attempt to enumerate carefully and to classify the existing records for Philadelphia and the surrounding district, in such a way that a reader may find in one place a record of all the measured drawings which are known to exist for any given building. References to sketches, photographs, and descriptive accounts, are added to the list of drawings for the sake of completeness. The most important actual survey drawings forming the sources of information are the "Old Philadelphia Survey" conducted by the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects from 1931 to 1932, and the "Historic American Buildings Survey" prepared under the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior, between 1935 and Other sources exist, but they are not of equal significance with those first mentioned. These other sources are to be found in drawings prepared by, or in the collections of (a) The City Architect; (b) The Committee for the Preservation of Historic Monuments of the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects; (c) The Fairmount Park Commission; (d) The Philadelphia Chapter previous to 1932; (e) The Historical Society of Pennsylvania; (f) and certain drawings in the possession of private individuals and institutions. The check list is preceded by a Key to Abbreviations. At the end will be found a list of buildings of sufficient importance, either architecturally or historically, to warrant their being surveyed, but of which, so far as is known, no adequate records exist. It is believed that this check list, so far as buildings covered by measured drawings is concerned, is complete. The compiler has taken many years to gather the data, and it is to be hoped that they may furnish a nucleus of information and lead, in less troubled times, to a continuation of the important work of preparing careful survey drawings of the many remaining worthwhile subjects.
