Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book allows readers to trace the evolution of some of America's most distinguished Colonial architecture through the reimagined lens of its first occupants, Philadelphia's prominent historical figures. Within the heart of Philadelphia, the author unveils the lives and homes of the elite, including the first provost of the University of Pennsylvania, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and the acclaimed American philosopher, Benjamin Franklin. The author evokes the essence of each individual, drawing connections between their personal histories and the design of their homes. By examining the architecture through the lives of its inhabitants, this book takes a unique approach to both biography and architectural history.
