Review # 1 was written on 2009-02-16 00:00:00 Bruce Haggar I'm not sure I should really count this as "read," as I've hardly done a linear read, but I've spent a good bit of time with it and am impressed. This covers everything from Elfreth's Alley to the new Temple library which isn't even built yet. As an architectural guide, it doesn't go through every little charming house, just because they're 19th c.; it highlights variety instead. A good third of the listings are devoted to structures built in my lifetime. Each building gets a little info panel and blurb which answers basic questions like "what is this? what was it? why is it like that?" I'm looking forward to trying some of the walking tours when the temperature gets below 95, maybe in October or so...

Review # 2 was written on 2015-11-30 00:00:00 Heidi L Tucker Philadelphia is a terribly under-rated city. This little book provides a great snapshot of some of the most interesting architectural jewels found throughout the area. It is by no means the most extensive collection of buildings nor the most comprehensive. It does, however, provide a terrific overview and interesting tidbits of some of the city's great edifices. I like the way the book is organized chronologically and even gives a brief bio of some of the most influential Philadelphia architects. I hope in the next edition they will include more neighborhoods to their tours. How can you not have a walking tour that includes Rittenhouse?
