Forgotten Philadelphia: Lost Architecture of the Quaker City

(Temple University Press)

By Thomas H. Keels ’76
Published in the July 16, 2008, issue

This richly illustrated book takes a historical look back at the now-gone buildings of the City of Brotherly Love. It couples photographs and drawings of Philadelphia’s lost structures with descriptions about what they were like when they stood, incorporating the cultural, political, and economic impacts these buildings had upon the city. Keels is a Philadelphia resident and historian who also wrote Philadelphia Graveyards and Cemeteries.
