Creator
Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Title
Two Walnut Street Homes Now Gone
Date
ca. 1922
Description
Contains two sketches of residences on Walnut Street. The top sketch depicts a residence at the corner of Sixteenth and Walnut Streets, which has since been replaced by the Medical Arts Building. The lower sketch shows a residence at the corner of Eighteenth and Walnut Streets that was the former home of Alexander J. Drexel and later William Warren Gibbs.
Notes
These spacious homes, not long ago notable features of a seemingly well-entrenched and exclusive residential section, are no longer. The upper residence, at the northwest corner of Walnut and Sixteenth streets, was, in turn, the home of Dr. D. Hayes Agnew, Dr. De Forrest Willard and George Albert Huhn. The site is now covered by the Medical Arts Building, erected in 1917. The lower sketch depicts the former residence of Alexander J. Drexel. For some years it was occupied by William Warren Gibbs, the site at the northeast corner of Walnut and Eighteenth streets is now that of a lofty but nameless apartment structure.
