Architecture photographs

A two-year course in architecture was offered at the Drexel Institute under the direction of the art department throughout the 1890s.  When the administration terminated the art department in 1905, architecture became an independent department and extended its regular course from two years to three years.  In 1914, architecture was dropped from the curriculum of the day school.

Arthur Truscott headed the department from 1894 to 1914.  Truscott is listed as one of the architects responsible for the Pennsylvania Railroad Station.  A building that formerly stood at Broad and Market streets on the west side of City Hall.  He is also cited as a founding member of Philadelphia's T-Square Club.
