What did Philadelphia look like in the 1980s?
“Philadelphia in the 1980s more closely resembles the city that I fell in love with while growing up than the Philadelphia of today,” says Hildebrandt. “These images illustrate and anchor the concept of a sense of place, which the City of Philadelphia has too often destroyed in the name of economic development.”

What is that building in Philly?
Given Philly’s long history, it’s no wonder that there are countless buildings out there that make folks stop and ask, “What is that building?” Chances are, it’s an old warehouse that once thrived during the city’s industrial boom, or maybe it’s one of Philly’s many monstrous power plants.

What is a Shutterbug in Philadelphia?
The unknown shutterbug captures Center City, Washington Square West, and South Philly with raw focus during a vulnerable period of economic depression and population decline. This “Old Philadelphia,” as some are wont to call it, is gritty and humble, its rough hewn exterior safeguarding a proud civic heart.

An excellent survey of Philadelphia's checkered architectural history, Thomas Keels's book contains great entries on Philadelphia's most important and emblematic demolished buildings. Each entry, containing so much material on the physical and cultural history of the city in such a succinct way, becomes enigmatic and thought-provoking. Each is almost a little novel, like Feneon's three-line novels, bringing us into a complicated world by focusing on the circumstances of the creation and destruction of important buildings, monuments, and public works.Notes:Each entry is a compact history lesson, an intriguing short story and a heartbreaking snapshot of the architectural beauty that could have filled Philadelphia if not for "progress". Even from its earliest days, Philadelphia seems in thrall to a cheap sort of progress, so there's no sens of preserving beauty and history and culture. A rich and varied social history emerges in not only the building of the structures, but also in their destruction.The Know-Nothing riots and church burnings stand out as significant acts of domestic terrorism, protest and conflict. Many country estates show the outrageous excesses of the rich and the ever-clinging love of Europe in all things. Ironically, the Natural Park Service's Independence Historic Site ended up destroying many more Victorian buildings than it saved early Colonial buildings, creating a homogenized, dead, sparse Old City. Philadelphia hit its peak in terms of financial and cultural relevance before the beginning of the 20th century.Philadelphia had its own shot at Jazz Age exuberance, beautiful cinemas and apartment buildings, but it all decayed into retail space and ghettos in a few decades. Though less known for it than Chicago and New York, Philadelphia had its fair share of …

This book made me feel sad although most of the buildings were demolished long before I was born but some I do recall. What is very sad about Philadelphia is that the (building) landscape is quickly changing from grand buildings into reflective window cigarette lighters and Storage Bin Modern monstrosities (some) that won't last 15 years let alone 150 years. Just recently, a local real estate guy arranged for an historically significant property (Frankford Chocolate) to be demolished and turned into more Storage Bin Modern monstrosities and that makes me feel so sad and mad at the same time. Once this was known as the City of Homes: "...Lining Philadelphia’s straight, gridiron streets, the row house defines the vernacular architecture of the city and reflects the ambitions of the people who built and lived there. Row houses were built to fit all levels of taste and budgets, from single-room bandbox plans to grand town houses. The row house was easy to build on narrow lots and affordable to buy, and its pervasiveness resulted in Philadelphia becoming the “City of Homes” by the end of the nineteenth century. As Philadelphia emerged as an industrial epicenter, the row house became synonymous with the city and was held up as an exemplar for egalitarian housing for all..." (excerpt from "The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia, Row Houses by Amanda Casper) Ah, well I do go on... DD@Phila
