1896 Third Horticultural Hall. Exterior

Subject

Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
Day, Frank Miles, 1861-1918

Description

PHS's third Horticultural Hall opened in 1896. Designed by Philadelphia architect Frank Miles Day, this hall was patterned after a Florentine Renaissance palace. Its interior was ornate, with a large foyer, stained glass windows, and a grand staircase to the main hall brilliantly lit by electric light. An inability to make a profit on shows or hall rentals forced PHS to sell this building in 1917. It was demolished that year.
