Book excerpt: Hamer argues that four stages of history are represented by historic districts. The first is the history that the district actually embodies; the second is the story of what happened to the district from the time the historically significant events occurred until the present, when those events are judged to be significant; the third is the process leading to the district's classification as historic; and the fourth is the history of the district once the designation is official.

Download or read book The Rise of the Midwestern Meat Packing Industry written by Margaret Walsh and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the meat packing industry of the Midwest offers an excellent illustration of the growth and development of the economy of that major industrial region. In the course of one generation, meat packing matured from a small-scale, part-time activity to a specialized manufacturing operation. Margaret Walsh's pioneering study traces the course of that development, shedding light on an unexamined aspect of America's economic history. As the Midwest emerged from the frontier period during the 1840s and 1850s, the growing urban demand for meat products led to the development of a seasonal industry conducted by general merchants during the winter months. In this early stage the activity was widely dispersed but centered mainly along rivers, which provided ready transportation to markets. The growth of the railroads in the 1850s, coupled with the westward expansion of population, created sharp changes in the shape and structure of the industry. The distinct advantages of good rail connections led to the concentration of the industry primarily in Chicago, but also in St. Louis and Milwaukee. The closing of the Mississippi River during the Civil War insured the final dominance of rail transport and spelled the relative decline of such formerly important packing points as Cincinnati and Louisville. By the 1870s large and efficient centralized stockyards were being developed in the major centers, and improved technology, particularly ice-packing, favored those who had the capital resources to invest in expansion and modernization. By 1880, the use of the refrigerated car made way for the chilled beef trade, and the foundations of the giant meat packing industry of today had been firmly established. Margaret Walsh has located an impressive array of primary materials to document the rise of this important early industry, the predecessor and in many ways the precursor of the great industrial complex that still dominates today's midwestern economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West of the Schuylkill River, what was once Blockley and Kingsessing Townships is now West Philadelphia. Here is a comprehensive look at the rich architectural history of neighborhoods in and around University City and biographies of the architects who made it possible. In more than 500 images, see this area of the "City of Brotherly Love" transition from humble beginnings as a collection of sprawling farms and dusty hamlets to a streetcar suburb for upwardly mobile types looking to escape the old city and a haven for esteemed educational institutions. Packed with archival images, maps, and color photos, the book covers Cedar Park to Powelton Village, chronicling the charm and elegance found in West Philadelphia's architecture, much of which is still on public display. Examples include Second Empire, Victorian, Queen Anne, Collegiate Gothic, and Italianate styles. This is a global and historic review ideal for architects, urban planners, historians, and of course residents of Blockley and Kingsessing.

Download or read book Impact of Historical Preservation on the Free Library of Philadelphia written by Karen Frances Miller and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the impact of historical register designation on four branches of the Free Library of Philadelphia and their communities: Haddington, Holmesburg, Kingsessing and Logan. Andrew Carnegie contributed $40 million to construct 1,689 free public libraries across the United States, which are still known as Carnegie libraries. The design and construction of each library was a collaborative community effort, making the library a place for the general public, in contrast to the elitist subscription libraries of the early 1900s. Many Carnegie libraries are today in need of repair and renovations. As the buildings aged, some people supported plans to demolish the libraries to create anew rather than renovate or reuse. Historical preservation is a viable alternative, and these buildings hold an important place in their communities and their history. Philadelphia has recently faced a crisis that threatened to close four Carnegie Libraries. Located in economically depressed regions, these communities are heavily reliant on their libraries as places of safety, education, entertainment, and technology. The Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia nominated these four to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, which the Philadelphia Historic Commission accepted by the Philadelphia Historical Commission in 2009. These four libraries permit a study of the impact of historic preservation on inner-city neighborhoods.
