St. Stephen's Church, 19 S 10th St . April 1859
St. Stephen's Church (Episcopal). Dr. Duchachett [sic], rector. Tenth St. East side corner of College Avenue. [graphic] : The broken ground &c in foreground, is the remains at the time the picture was taken, of the old wooden houses now removing to give place to a new market house
St. Stephen’s Church represents another magnificent church structure added to the cityscape of Philadelphia during the 19th century. Built 1822-1823 at 19 South Tenth Street after the designs of Philadelphia architect William Strickland, the Gothic-style Episcopal church houses two monuments bequeathed by devout parishioner and lawyer Edward Shippen Burd. The lower view shows one of the monuments, Burd’s tomb, designed by architect Frank Wills and installed after his death in 1848. The exterior view shows the construction site opposite the church for the Franklin Market, begun in 1859.

Saint Stephen's is essentially unchanged from this view. The interior had a large northerly extension by Frank Furness and some portions of the Furness stencilling remain on the interior. A new elaborate altar and east wall were done by Tiffany & Co early in the 20th century. The church also recently sold off an important sculpture by Saint-Gaudens which the art museum happily purchased. The Burd sculptural memorials are amazing.
