Book excerpt: Excerpt from Magee's: A Guide and Description to All Places of Interest in or About Philadelphia, to the Centennial Grounds and Buildings, and Fairmount Park; Illustrated Guide of Philadelphia and the Centennial Exhibition Less than half a century ago, the above couplet was the familiar rhyme to express the bounds of our old city north and south, and the regularly built up districts did not extend far above or below these lines. Now Philadelphia reaches to Alleghany avenue, No. 3200 north, and to Hartranft street. No. 3400 on the south, and from the Delaware river east to Cobb's creek, the Delaware county line on the west; forming an area of 82,603 acres, or 129 square miles, thus giving to Philadelphia the largest area of any city in the world. Philadelphia was founded by the illustrious William Penn in the year 1682. The euphonious name, so characteristic of the leader of the fraternity of "Friends," he derived from that of a city in Asia-Minor, and which in the Greek means "Brotherly Love." The first landing of William Penn on the site of his future city, was what was then known as the "Blue Anchor Landing," near to which stood the Blue Anchor Tavern, and what is now Front and Dock streets.

Download or read book Follies in America written by Kerry Dean Carso and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follies in America examines historicized garden buildings, known as "follies," from the nation's founding through the American centennial celebration in 1876. In a period of increasing nationalism, follies—such as temples, summerhouses, towers, and ruins—brought a range of European architectural styles to the United States. By imprinting the land with symbols of European culture, landscape gardeners brought their idea of civilization to the American wilderness. Kerry Dean Carso's interdisciplinary approach in Follies in America examines both buildings and their counterparts in literature and art, demonstrating that follies provide a window into major themes in nineteenth-century American culture, including tensions between Jeffersonian agrarianism and urban life, the ascendancy of middle-class tourism, and gentility and social class aspirations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stranger's Illustrated: Pocket Guide to Philadelphia, Embracing a Description of the Principal Objects of Interest in and Around the City, With Directions How to Reach Them; Including the Grounds and Buildings of the Centennial Exhibition Persons unacquainted with the city should, at the outset, become familiar with the system of numbering the houses. On the streets running west from the Delaware River, the houses are divided into squares or blocks, by cross-streets, named consecutively, Front, Second, Third, Fourth, etc., and the commencement of each square or block commences also a new hundred in the numbering. For instance, at Second Street the numbering commences with 200, at Third Street with 300, at Fourth Street with 400, etc. The streets running north and south are also divided into squares in the same manner, Market Street being the dividing line between north and south.
