231–49 S. 22nd St.
Frank Samuel House
1899, Theophilus Parsons Chandler

T. P. Chandler set the standard for Georgian Revival taste in this house for iron merchant Frank Samuel. Traditional Philadelphia brick is laid in Flemish bond with burnt headers, a pattern found in many 18th-century Philadelphia houses. Also traditional are the marble water table and belt courses and the classical cornice with dentil frieze and modillions. No surviving Georgian city house, however, matches the grandeur of this seven-bay facade or the elegance of the entry, where stone columns supporting a Doric entablature frame a rusticated arch.
