Join us this Sunday for an architecture walking tour in Powelton.

The small neighborhood of Powelton Village in West Philadelphia has great stories to tell. Settled by Welsh Quakers in 1682, the village was named for the 18th century estate of Samuel Powel, the mayor of Philadelphia during the Revolution. This tour features an eclectic variety of mid- to late 19th c. houses and mansions of this early “street car suburb.” Among the designers are some of Philadelphia's foremost late 19th Century architects, including Wilson Eyre, Willis Hale and the Wilson Brothers. The neighborhood also includes innovative 21st century student housing by Erdy McHenry Architecture for Drexel University.


September 16, Sun. 2pm
Meet in front of Zocalo Restaurant, 36th St. & Lancaster Ave.
