Urban Outfitters decision to move its corporate headquarters to the Navy Yard and torehabilitate five historic properties there demonstrates an exceptional corporate commit-ment to historic preservation. Founded in 1970, Urban Outfitters operates three retaillines—Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People—with close to 200 stores in theUnited States, Canada and Europe.

Even prior to its move to the Navy Yard, Urban Outfitters had already demonstrated an

interest in historic properties. Its Free People division headquarters was located in an his-toric property at 17th and Locust streets in Philadelphia; its Philadelphia Anthropologiestore is in the former Fell-van Rensselaer Mansion on Rittenhouse Square. However, byrelocating its corporate headquarters and 650 employees to the Navy Yard UrbanOutfitters dramatically advanced the preservation of the historic core of the Navy Yard.

Urban Outfitter’s campus has brought vibrant new energy to the Navy Yard as a whole.The Urban campus includes a wide range of functions including, in addition to officespace, an inspiration library, gym, interior gardens and two restaurants. As noted in theGrand Jury Project Awards, renovation of the historic buildings was carried out withremarkable sensitivity to their historic character while also incorporating UrbanOutfitters’ corporate style. As Inquirer critic Inga Saffron noted, “Rarely has an architec-ture and landscape design so thoroughly embodied a company’s corporate identity.”

Urban Outfitters and particularly its chairman and CEO Richard A. Hayne are to becommended for their exceptional contribution to historic preservation in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA

The Concord School House is one ofPhiladelphia’s most distinctive historicsites. Built in 1755 by Jacob Knorr (masterbuilder of Johnson House and Cliveden) ona corner of the Upper Burial Ground, it wasthe first English-language school inGermantown and is one of only threeschool buildings in Philadelphia from thecolonial period. It served as an independentschool house until 1892, including use byfamilies of African American descent in the1850s.The adjoining Upper Burial Groundhas been in service since 1683 and 31Revolutionary War soldiers lie buried there.

Over the years a board of trustees main-tained the school building, but by the late1990s there was actually only one activeboard member and the care of the schoolhouse and burial ground had declined. In2005, a re-organized board convened toensure that the school house and burialground would remain an integral part ofhistoric Germantown. In a remarkablyshort period of time this new leadershiphas reinvigorated the school house and itsprograms. Concord School House is nowpart of the History Hunters Youth

Reporter program, which brings 1,500 stu-dents each year to historic sites for hands-on social studies programs. This past year afree summer camp was offered to childrenin Germantown, educating them to thehistoric significance of the wider commu-nity and enabling them to become walking

tour guides during such events as the reen-actment of the Battle of Germantown.

The board of the Concord School Houseis to be commended for revitalzing an his-toric site that provides a special insightinto the history of public education inPhiladelphia.

The Henry J. Magaziner Award recognizesan individual or organization outside thenormal circle of preservation and designthat has made a significant contributionto the preservation of the built environ-ment. This year the Historic PreservationCommittee of AIA Philadelphia hasselected the Capitol PreservationCommittee as recipient of the award.

The Capitol Preservation Committeewas created by the Pennsylvania Legis-lature in 1982 to oversee restoration andto preserve the historic integrity of theCapitol Building along with its historiccontents. During the past 15 years theCapitol Preservation Committee hasrestored and preserved many areas andartifacts within the building and is con-tinuing these efforts to ensure that futuregenerations can enjoy the splendor of theCapitol. The award honors the legislationcreating the committee, subsequent leg-islatures that continued funding thisimportant work, as well as the CapitolPreservation Committee, which imple-ments restoration projects and maintainsthe building.

The Capitol Building, completed in1906, was designed by architect JosephM. Huston. While the overall building isa unified design in the Renaissance style,

different Renaissance styles are featuredin its public rooms. The House chamberis Italian, the Senate chamber is French,and the Governor’s reception room isbased on English design. Huston intend-ed it to be a “palace of art” and incorpo-rated the work of many prominent artistsinto the design, including works byViolet Oakley and Henry Mercer.

The Residents of Greenbelt Knoll PH I LADE LPH IA

The residents of Greenbelt Knoll, a modest suburban-style subdivision adjacent to Pennypack Park in NortheastPhiladelphia, decided to observe the 50th anniversary ofGreenbelt Knoll’s founding by seeking designation as anhistoric district. Charles Fuller, a long-time resident, pre-

pared the nomination on behalf of the community. Theirefforts were rewarded in June 2006, when the PhiladelphiaHistorical Commission approved listing Greenbelt Knollon the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.

Greenbelt Knoll was a major milestone in Americanopen housing and civil rights movements. It was created in1956 by Morris Milgram, a pioneer in the development ofracially integrated communities. This was Milgrim’s firstventure and was the first integrated suburban develop-ment in the city and one of the first in the nation. Noted

architect Louis I. Kahn served as a consultant for thedesign of the 18 single-family houses, which are excellentexamples of the organic vein of mid-20th century Modernarchitecture. Original residents included Milgrim himself,U.S. Representative Robert N. C. Nix and the ReverendLeon Sullivan.

The present and past residents of Greenbelt Knolldeserve our appreciation for preserving this importanthousing development and securing its designation as anhistoric district.

GRAND JURY AWARDS

The Union League of Philadelphia wasfounded at the onset of the Civil War to raisetroops and funds for the Union effort. Thebuilding was completed in 1865 accordingto the plans of architect John Fraser, andrepresents one of the finest examples of theSecond Empire style in this country. Anannex facing 15th Street, designed byHorace Trumbauer in the RenaissanceRevival style was added in 1910.

The comprehensive restoration workincluded the complete reconstruction ofthe missing tower cupola and roof cresting;repair, restoration and painting of archi-tectural millwork and windows; complete

repair and cleaning of all masonry materi-als including the reconstruction of thefront entrance stairs using cast stone andNova Scotia brownstone; disassembly andreconstruction of the 15th Street stairs;conservation of stained glass windows; andrestoration of all lighting and metals.

The multi-year exterior restoration wasan important effort that, through state-of-the-art historic preservation practices, pre-served the architectural offerings of twosignificant Philadelphia architects – Fraserand Trumbauer – as well as the politicaland social histories that are represented bytheir early- and late-Victorian designs.

Originally designed by Frederick Graff in1829 as a Romantic landscape, by the 1990sthe South Garden, adjacent to the WaterWorks, suffered from vandalism and lack ofmaintenance. The Fairmount Park Com-mission and the Fund for the Water Workscommissioned a comprehensive HistoricLandscape Report, which, in part, deter-mined the “target” date for the restorationshould be 1875, by which time all theessential historical elements were in place.

While the setting for the restoration is adeigned landscape, the restoration’s main focuswas on the architectural and built features. TheMarble Fountain – which hadn’t operated for

more than 115 years – was dismantled and re-constructed after underground water servicewas reinstated.The 1848 Gothic-inspired GraffMemorial underwent extensive stone andmetal restoration and conservation, andthe return of the bust of Frederick Graff.

The elaborate cast-iron railings – largelymissing by the 1990s – along the CliffsidePath which connects to the Art Museum wererecreated,and the path itself was stabilized andpaved. Other historic site features were also re-introduced including reproduction light fix-tures, benches, and ornamental railings. Nowthousands of visitors can once again experi-ence the South Garden as originally conceived.

Originally built in 1871 on Girard Avenuejust outside Philadelphia’s NorthernLiberties neighborhood, this monumentalItalianate/Second-Empire-styled neigh-borhood landmark operated as the EightNational Bank until the building was soldin 1944. Eventually it became essentiallyabandoned, suffering from years ofunsympathetic alterations, structural andenvironmental issues, and damage fromleaky roofs, no heat, broken windows.

The building has now been restored andrenovated for its original use by, and hous-es, the first branch and executive headquar-ters of the newly chartered Hyperion Bank,a community bank organized to service the

businesses and citizens of this once-againthriving neighborhood in the midst of itsown renaissance.

The original masonry openings wererestored on the ground floor by replicatingthe pilasters with salvaged masonry and newgranite sills. Missing brackets, copper trim andsoffits of the Mansard roof were replicated,and the roof itself was replaced with simu-lated slate shingles. The large-scale mahoganydoors were also replicated, as were manywindow frames and sashes. This former eye-sore has become, once again, a grand buildingserving as a community-focused bank thatwill play an important role in the continuingeconomic resurgence of its neighborhood.

Located just above Boathouse Row, thiscast-iron Victorian structure was built inthe third quarter of the 1800s and quicklybecome a popular observation and restingplace for the public. Sitting on an outcropatop Lemon Hill, the Gazebo is still afavored place to watch regattas on theSchuylkill River below.

Over the years, the Gazebo suffered acycle of vandalism, neglect, and overzeal-ous painting. Invasive trees blocked itsbreathtaking view, and overgrown vegeta-tion deterred park visitors.

The Fairmount Park Historic Trust initi-ated a conservation plan and raised funds –notably from the Junior League and theRotary Club – for the restoration project. Arigorous analysis of the original paintscheme by the Trust conservators deter-mined the original colors of pale brownand purple. A pneumatic tool known as aneedle scaler was used to remove the manylayers of old paint without damaging theoriginal materials. Rotted and missingwooden elements were repaired orreplaced. The new paint is graffiti resistant.New security lighting was installed. Finally,volunteers cleaned the site and planted newannuals. The Fairmount Park Commissionis now committed to regular maintenanceof the restored historic Gazebo.

The Second Bank of the U.S. was designedin 1818 by William Strickland and completedin 1824. It is one of the earliest examples ofGreek-Revival architecture in the nation, not-

ed for its monumental north and south porti-coes, each consisting of eight massive Doriccolumns of Pennsylvania marble. It is now partof Independence National Historical Park.

Due to atmospheric pollution, poormaintenance, building design, and inher-ent inadequacies of the original marble,these columns had become seriously

decayed and eroded. Instead of aggressiverestoration intervention, the National ParkService decided instead to stabilize andpreserve the marble columns according tothe recommendations of the ArchitecturalConservation Laboratory of the GraduateProgram of Historic Preservation at theUniversity of Pennsylvania.

The treatments designed for this projectsignify a new era in addressing the deterio-ration associated with Pennsylvania BlueMarble. Partially spalled – but still sound –marble was reattached using titanium andstainless-steel orthopedic bone screws. Themore deteriorated stone was treated withceramic rods set with adhesive. Altogethermore than 900 pins and screws were insertedthroughout 375 identified spalls, along withspecially formulated grout used to fill voids.It is expected that these innovative treat-ments will find application to other typesof stones exhibiting similar deterioration.

In 2004, Urban Outfitters, Inc., anapparel and housewares retailer, made thepioneering decision to move their scat-tered corporate headquarters and 650employees from Center City to thePhiladelphia Navy Yard. For the past twoyears, Urban Outfitters worked with thePhiladelphia Industrial DevelopmentCorporation and a team of architects,engineers, and historic preservation con-sultants to rehabilitate five historic build-ings: Buildings 7, 10, 12, 15, and 543, all ofwhich are in the Shipyard NationalRegister Historic District. These buildings,which range in date from 1880 to 1939,were originally used for metal-smithing,plate bending, and equipment building.Their architectural styles includeRenaissance Revival and Art Moderne.

Urban Outfitters invested approximately

$100 million in the 240,000-square-footproject, as well as complying with thepreservation standards to obtain federalinvestment tax credits. The buildings arenow used as office spaces, and also includea cafeteria, conference and training rooms,a fitness center, an indoor garden, and evena koi pond created from original metal-bending pits.

In order to keep the industrial characterof the buildings, most of the volume andopenness of the industrial spaces wasretained by use of new transparent wallsand by leaving the original steel structure,concrete floors and brick walls exposed.Even the huge overhead cranes wereretained. Throughout, original materials –such as ornamental and roofing terra-cotta, granite, wood, and metal – were pre-served, cleaned and repaired.

Restoration and adaptive re-use of theBlue Ball Barn was part of an extensiveregional redevelopment plan to preserveopen space and commemorate the agricul-tural history of the Brandywine Valley. Thebarn complex was constructed in 1914 toserve as the dairy farm for Nemours, theestate of Alfred I. du Pont, and it original-ly exhibited innovations in sanitation andfire protection.

The barn complex had deteriorated toan advanced state of decay, however, andrequired extensive reconstruction. Histor-ical research and field analysis identifiedsignificant design features that wererestored to their original appearance, whilethe interior was renovated to create open,accessible exhibit space for folk-art andhistorical collections, and public event

space for the new Alapocas Run State Park.A two-story addition was constructedadjacent to the barn on the footprint of theoriginal livestock sheds to house modernprogrammatic functions. And the formerbarnyard has been paved to be the focalpoint for public gatherings.

In addition to rigorous restoration andsensitive adaptive re-use, the project is one ofthe first in the historic preservation projectsin nation to successfully meet the require-ments of the Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design (LEED) Silver Ratingstandards. The design team worked to insurethe renovation to the barn was undertakenutilizing energy-efficient, renewable, andenvironmental-friendly building materialsand systems, while preserving the historicintegrity of the original structure.
