I have been a Master Carpenter in this city for 17 years, and served eight years as an apprentice to my business, and have 5 apprentices myself, at a time. I have built very largely for many persons in the city, and have erected some of the finest buildings the city can boast, particularly those in Chestnut Street opposite the Academy of Fine Art. I have built lately for the following Gentlemen. viz. Captain Dunlap, Thos. Pratt Esq., Capt. Hardy, Burton Wallace Jr. I have been regularly bred to Architecture, and would therefore be of service as a draftsman. My assortment of tools and architecture works are very extensive, and I would if engaged bring them with me. As you require certificates in regard to capability, I would produce them from the Old Carpenters Hall, Wm. Strickland, archt. of the U.S. Bank etc. . . .

This house carpenter and would-be architect appeared in Philadelphia city directories in 1817, the same year he was elected to The Carpenters' Company. His listings in the directories continued through 1819, although The Company carried him as a member until he resigned in 1857. In 1815 the Pennsylvania Hospital determined to erect a special building on the hospital grounds (Spruce between 8th and 9th Sts.) to house Benjamin West's long-promised gift of his painting, "Christ Healing the Sick." According to the Building Committee minutes (June 8,1816), "the house is to be raised agreeably to the Plan exhibited by Samuel Webb the architect to be employed." In July Webb ("architect") submitted a new design in the Gothic style that displeased West; the artist complained of "misapplication of Gothic architecture to a Place where the Refinement of Science is to be inculcated and . . . ought to have been founded on those clear and self-evident Principles adopted by the Greeks." Nonetheless the painting arrived in October,1817, and according to hospital records, Webb served as contractor for the "picture house." Doubt is cast on Webb's role in the final design by the existence of a drawing by C.A. Busby (q.v.) inscribed, "Spruce Street, Sketch of a Design for improving the North Front of the building erected in Philadelphia, to receive Mr. Wests Picture - C.A. Busby - July 1817." In 1821 a competition was announced for the State Penitentiary for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia.

Title A name given to the resource Darragh, John Description An account of the resource The elusive John Darragh may be tied to the history of Old St. Joseph's Church (1839) on Willings Alley in Philadelphia. A memoir published in 1886 to benefit Old St. Joseph's Church mentioned John Darragh as the architect as well as a member of the building committee. In Philadelphia city directories Darragh emerges in 1828 as a house carpenter. By 1835/36 he also notes an address at 209 South 7th Street, where he remains through 1839. From 1837 through 1839 he lists his occupation as builder. Another lead which further intrigues regarding Darragh is a reference in Dennis Steadman Francis's compilation of architects' listings from the New York City directories. A John E. Darragh appears in New York City from 1887 to 1899 as a member of the firm of R. L. Darragh & Co. No connection between the New York Darragh and the Philadelphia Darragh has yet been found, however. The Philadelphia John Darragh was elected to the Carpenters Company of Philadelphia in 1822.

Title A name given to the resource Senneff, George Description An account of the resource George Senneff was a carpenter who first appeared in Philadelphia city directories in 1830 at 100 South Twelfth Street; he remained at that address throughout most of his life. In 1831 Senneff attempted to make the transition from carpenter to architect when he entered the competition for Wills Hospital for the Relief of the Indigent Blind and Lame. In that competition he faced John C. Trautwine, William Rodrigue, John Haviland, and Thomas Ustick Walter, all well-known professionals. Thomas Ustick Walter won the competition, and the building, now demolished, was erected on Logan Square and Race Street between 18th and 19th Streets (1833-33; altered, 1867 and 1909). However, Senneff did win a respectable third prize ($25) (as did Rodrigue and and Haviland) and soon was approached by the new Board of Managers for Haverford College, who sought a designer for Founders Hall. Although Senneff provided the plans and exterior appearance, he was paid only a modest sum for that effort; and other builders were paid to modify and construct the building. After this disappointment Senneff returned to carpentry.

Rilling, chapter 4, page 18 Builders and clients drew extensively on the houses around them for room plans and decorative elements. When house carpenter Samuel Copeland and his partner Samuel Brown (a tailor) agreed in 1835 to build houses on land owned by the wealthy brewer George Pepper, the specifications for the buildings were left much to the discretion of the builders. Copeland and Brown agreed simply that "all the houses which shall front on Tenth and Eleventh Streets shall be at least three stories in height, to have marble water tables and ashlers." To assure the value of the buildings -- and relying more on tangible models than detailed contractual descriptions -- Pepper stipulated further that the buildings were "not to be inferior in size and quality to the houses built by Haas and Myers on Tenth Street." page 19 Bricklayer and client Benjamin Harker also relied on physical models when he engaged Samuel Copeland in 1818 and 1819. Harker wanted shelves in his cellar, and to that end told the carpenter, "'I want you to finish the vault, as Ware's house [next door] is:'" The artisans then "went into Ware's house, and saw the vault." page 50 When Samuel Copeland completed the carpenter work for Harker and Thorn's house, as final touches he "hung the mahogany doors, put down carpet strips . . . planed the floors and built shelves in the cellar. page 58 In 1836, after having missed his building deadline and defaulted on the contract, Samuel Copeland signed the March 1836 statement of master house carpenters alleging that "the time selected [for journeymen to strike] is when their employers have large contracts on hand . . ." --------------------- City Directory - 1810 - Samuel, carpenter, 29 Kunckle above Noble City Directory - 1830, 35 - Samuel Copeland, house carpenter, 201 Sassafras St. 1840 - Samuel, carpenter, 39 N.
