Allen, John
description: John Allen was a Master Builder proposed for membership in The Carpenters' Company by Thomas Nevell, and Abraham Carlile. He was elected on April 15, 1771, but died without taking part in any recorded activities of The Company. Written by Roger W. Moss, from the Philadelphia Architects and Builders website.

Allison, Robert
description: Robert Allison, a talented carpenter and master builder, proved to be one of the Carpenters’ Company’s most colorful members. Carpenter, master builder, land speculator and developer, he was a strong supporter of the American cause. Well-known buildings with which he was associated include Benjamin Franklin’s house in Franklin Court, the State House, Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland and the House Intended for the President of the United States. Presumably of Scottish descent, his first known job in Philadelphia was assisting Robert Smith with Benjamin Franklin’s home off of Market Street in 1764 for which he was paid £120. On December 2, 1766, he married Rachel Gunning at the Market Square Presbyterian Church in Germantown. The following March 29, 1767, their daughter, Margaret, was baptized at the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. A year later, a second daughter, Jane, was also baptized at the First Presbyterian Church on April 13, 1768. Allison began his land acquisitions in 1767 purchasing two lots of ground on George Street in Southwark from Samuel Rhoads and his wife. Allison is listed as a resident of Southwark, a carpenter with one servant, on the 1769 tax list. He began his long career of community service by accepting an appointment to a committee to work out suitable financial arrangements for Captain Condy who was overseeing the building of the new Presbyterian Church at Fourth and Pine Streets. Allison was building on his own as well. In 1771 Gunning Bedford, surveyor for The Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire inspected Allison’s home on the west side of “Georges Street between Cedar and Plum Streets in the district of Southwark where he dwells.” This two-story structure, twenty feet front, thirty feet deep, included chimney breasts, double cornices, entry wainscoting and a Doric frontispiece, was not yet finished and ultimately not insured by Allison for a few more years. The 1770s were busy o…

Allison, Walter
description: Walter Allison was a master builder of Philadelphia elected to the Carpenters' Company in 1853. Allison was partnered with George Brown, another member of the Carpenters' Company elected in 1853. Allison worked with Brown on the now demolished Smythe building at 101-105 Arch street. Unlike Brown who died in 1860, Allison lived until 1889 and served in multiple official positions for the Carpenters' Company including many terms on the Managing Committee and Book Prices Committee in the 1860s, 1870s and 1880s. He also served as a Warden (1857-59), Vice President (1877) and President (1878). Biography from the Philadelphia Architects and Building, a project of the Athenaeum of Philadelphia.
