B. Davis Sons, Inc. Thomas Davis in the year 1853 opened a small office on Broad St. (This street was located between Second and Third St. crossing Arch and Race streets.) The purpose of this office was to transact a building business, which he carried on successfully until his retirement in 1903. His son, Franklin B. Davis, who had been associated with his father, carried on the business, moving his office and carpenter shop to 6 North 13th St. As business prospered, he again moved in 1906 to larger quarters at 35 South 17th St. The business continued to grow and the need for more room caused him to purchase a three-story property at 240 N. 16th St. The offices were located on the second floor and the third floor was used as a carpenter shop. During this period, his sons, Franklin and Gilbert were taken in as members of the firm which became known as F.B. Davis & Sons. As a result of the widening of Vine St., it became necessary to move again. The firm relocated at 1731 Spring Garden St. in 1951 where Franklin Davis, Jr. and Alfred MacMoran were taken in as members of the company, having served their apprenticeships as engineers and carpenters. Both of these men are now carrying on a successful business under the name of F.B. Davis Sons, Inc. We are proud of our affiliation with the Carpenters' Company. Our original founder, Thomas M. Davis, became a member in 1868; followed by his son, Franklin B. Davis, who became a member in 1918; followed by his son, Gilbert C. Davis, who became a member in 1924. At present, Mr. Gilbert Davis and Mr. Alfred MacMoran are active members. ---------------------- City Directory - 1850 - Thomas, carpenter, 40 Carpenter (C); house NW Schuylkill 7th & Sassafras. 1854 - Thomas, carpenter, 13th & Federal.

Supervised construction of Union League, Broad & Sansom Sts. Old Main, Widener University (see Comments) Reference Tatman & Moss Bio Dictionary Phila. Architects page 176. Architect, carpenter and hotel manager, John Crump was born in Cheltenham, England. At the age of 12 he was brought to Philadelphia by his father, William H. Crump, who was employed as an editor by "The Philadelphia Inquirer." John Crump's first appearance in the Philadelphia city directories is in 1854, when he is noted as an accountant in the office of Matthew T. Miller, a broker. One of Crump's obituaries reported that he left Miller's office, moved to Ohio and learned the trade of carpenter and architect. By 1858 Crump was again in the Philadelphia city directories, this time as a builder, a profession which would be reported for him in the directories until 1870, when he was transformed into an architect. In 1871 his three occupations received individual notice in the city directories; he is listed as carpenter, architect and hotel manager. It appears that Crump was able to move between these three endeavors with some facility, being employed as a contractor on Thomas Richards's (q.v.) design for the University of Pennsylvania Hospital in 1873 and as an architect for The Globe and Atlas hotels erected near the Centennial grounds in Philadelphia in 1876 -- while still functioning as manager for the Colonnade Hotel, which he had designed and constructed from several properties at 15th & Chestnut. In addition, Crump also operated stone quarries in Conshohocken and Media, PA. Crump was a member of the Society of the Sons of St. George, which he joined in 1863. After he supervised construction of the Union League clubhouse according to John Fraser's (q.v.) design (in the process losing money owing to an increased price in building materials), he joined the League in 1865. In 1866 he also joined The Carpenters' Company. ---------------------- in member file copy of Historic Structures Report from Widener University (received May 2003) describing Mr. Crump's role in construction of "Old Main" building on campus.
