Members-Only Private Tour of the Baptist Temple
After sitting empty for the last 30 years, the Baptist Temple recently reopened to the public following an extensive renovation and restoration. The 36,000 square foot building now serves as a center for arts and cultural performances, as well as a setting for meetings, symposia and other events.
The Baptist Temple, built in 1891 as a home for Temple University founder Russell H. Conwell’s congregation, has hosted some of the country’s most prominent intellectual and political figures throughout its history, including Martin Luther King Jr., President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Margaret Mead, Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller. The building was designated as a Landmark Building by the American Institute of Architects in 2003 and added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Place in 1984. The architecture firm RMJM worked to meticulously preserve the building’s historic features, including all 140 windows which were recreated and restored to their original condition.
Temple University, 1837 N. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA
FREE and open to all current Preservation Alliance members

From Creek to Sewer: The Transformation of Philadelphia's Topography, 1682-2010
As you walk on many of Philadelphia’s sidewalks, beneath your feet is a hidden world of streams that once crisscrossed the city. Join us for a fascinating illustrated lecture that will uncover part of Philadelphia’s history that few people ever think about – the drastic changes made in Philadelphia’s landscape since its founding in 1682.
Historian and archivist Adam Levine has been digging into the history of the city’s sewers and drainage systems since 1998, and his talk will focus on the systematic obliteration of hundreds of miles of surface streams.
Buried deep underground in pipes as large as 20 feet in diameter, these former streams – some of which had watersheds that covered thousands of acres – became main drainage arteries in the city’s 3,000 mile sewer system. These massive alterations to the landscape, undertaken over two centuries, have environmental repercussions that are still being felt today.
Adam has been studying and discussing this subject for years, and each time his lecture is different. For Schuylkill Soundings, he will be showing new photographs and maps that will amaze even the crustiest sewer or watershed specialist.
RSVP: 215-685-0723.
