| 説明 | This walkway with garden plots was built by William Shaw to serve his Moravian community in 1885-89, according to Edward Teitelman and Richard W. Longstreth, ARCHITECTURE IN PHILADELPHIA: A GUIDE, p. 148. The authors attribute to the houses "a robust Queen Anne Revival style common in Philadelphia." There are similar houses on the block of St. Paul to the south. (Photos of Queen Anne windows with color from these houses can be found in another album.) By the way, the authors note that Grace Moravian Church was part of the small development. The church seems to be long gone, and no image has turned up. Maps show at the northwest intersection of St. Luke and North Sixteenth a school (1885, 1895 Baist), a church (1888 Baist, 1910 Bromley), or "All Saints Ch, & Sch." (1895, 1901 Bromley). The 1921 Sanborn (13.1285) shows a garage at the spot. The street name St. Marks Square seems to have lasted around sixteen years. It is in the 1885 and 1888 Baist, the 1891 Bromley, the 1893 Shiedt, and the 1895 Baist, Bromley, and Kaufmann. In 1901 Baist gives it as Lowe, and in the same year Bromley says "St. Marks) Lowe (Sq)"; the parentheses are a sign that the name is on the way out. By 1910 Bromley has it as Rowan, and it continues with that name (now Rowan Walkway) to the present, with a late appearance in the 1911 Cram.You will find more information and photographs not taken when a storm was brewing in this article by Alan Jaffe: whyy.org/articles/look-english-village-nicetown/ |
