About this issue

This December 1891 Munsey's Magazine issue features "Picturesque Philadelphia" by William Bennett Banks, an illustrated article surveying the city's historical and architectural landmarks. The article traces Philadelphia's founding by William Penn in 1682 through its role as the revolutionary capital, documenting key sites including Independence Hall, the Pennsylvania Hospital (founded 1750 with Benjamin Franklin's assistance), and Christ Church. It surveys contemporary architecture along Broad Street: the monumental new City Hall, the Ridgway Library branch, the Masonic Temple (completed 1873), churches including the Arch Street Methodist Episcopal and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The article contrasts traditional Philadelphia residential architecture—plain brick and stone townhouses around Rittenhouse Square—with new ornate mansions by wealthy transportation franchise owners Kemble, Widener, and Elkins. St. George's Hall receives mention as headquarters of the British-American St. George's Society.
