Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 8.25 inches by 7.25 inches. xviii, 284 , [2] pages. Illustrations. DJ has some wear and soiling. Notes to the Reader, A Brief Historical Review of Architecture and Planning in Philadelphia. Demolished Buildings. Selected Bibliography and Sources. Index of Architects. Index of Building Type and Style. Index of Buildings and Places. This is the first comprehensive and fully documented study of Philadelphia's architecture, covering all sections of the city and covering buildings from all periods, from those that have stood since Colonial times to influential and representative works of the twentieth century. Dr. Teitelman graduated from Thomas Jefferson Medical College. Early in his career, he joined the Public Health Service. Later, Dr. Teitelman created his own Psychiatric practice in Camden. He collected thousands of images of buildings throughout Philadelphia and Camden. In 1974, he published a guidebook to Philadelphia architecture. Richard W. Longstreth (born 4 March 1946, Pasadena) is an architectural historian and a professor at George Washington University where he directs the program in historic preservation. Longstreth received a Ph.D. in architectural history from the University of California, Berkeley in 1977. Longstreth has served as president of the Society of Architectural Historians. The documentation in this work was based on the latest research available to the authors, including their own extensive searches both in the archives and on the streets. In all, some 450 buildings and/or locations are listed, and about 240 of these are illustrated, in almost every case with a contemporary photograph. The location of each building is noted, along with its date of construction and its architect, when these are known. When applicable, late major alterations are also cited, by date, architect, and extent. And in many cases, brief commentaries are included that place individual buildings in their historic context or that offer critical evaluations of their architectural merits. The book opens with a historical review of architecture and planning in Philadelphia. This is followed be a guide to the city, divided into seven sections, and an abstracted map that the reader can use to pinpoint the locations of the listed buildings. These sections cover the Center City, Fairmount Park, North Philadelphia, the Northeast, South Philadelphia, West Philadelphia (including the University of Pennsylvania campus), and Germantown. The authors stress a sense of area development and general trends, as opposed to the isolated consideration of separate monuments. However, the heterogeneity and diversity that have characterized every period are amply illustrated - highly individualized buildings are pictured in these pages side by side with more "typical" examples of various styles. Much of the best work of architects long identified with the city is shown, ranging from Edmund Woolley and Andrew Hamilton (the architects of Independence Hall) in the eighteenth century; to William Strickland, Frank Furman, Theophilus Chandler, and John McArthur, Jr., in the nineteenth; and to Louis I. Kahn and Robert Venturi in the the twentieth. The book is a boon for the architecturally minded tourist, whether actually walking about the city using the book as a guide or touring Philadelphia from afar and using the book as a well-ordered substitute for the city itself.…
