Description
Exterior view of building designed by architect Thomas Ustick Walter and built between 1849 and 1853 for the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College. Upon this school's closure in 1861, the Eclectic Medical College of Philadelphia, founded 1860, purchased the building and occupied it from 1863 to ca. 1874. It is unclear when the building was demolished. The Eclectic Medical College of Philadelphia became the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery in 1865 and offered it's final lecture sessions between 1875-76. The Dean of the University, T.B. Miller, continued to sell bogus diplomas until 1880, when, after exposes in the Philadelphia Record, the school became extinct., Title and date from typed label on verso., Yellow mount with rounded corners., Reproduced in The Print and Photograph Department of the Library Company of Philadelphia's Center City Philadelphia in the 19th century (Portsmouth, N.H.: Arcadia Publishing, 2006), p. 106., Arcadia caption text: Towering above the surrounding row homes, this building at 252-254 South Ninth Street was built in 1849 after the designs of Thomas Ustick Walter. Four different medical institutions occupied the Collegiate Gothic style building in its first three decades, beginning with the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College (of Gettysburg), which merged with the Philadelphia College of Medicine in 1859. This school closed in 1861 and the Eclectic Medical College of Philadelphia moved in. This institution became the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery in 1865.
