As a followup to Al's post, the specific time for the Architectural Committee
of the Historical Commission to hear the 40th Street hotel proposal will occur
at 12:15pm in Room 578 City Hall tomorrow, Tuesday October 23rd, 2007.
Directions:
The public entrance to City Hall is on the Northeast corner of the building.
This is on the 13th Street side of City Hall, and the Northeast corner is north
of Market and opposite the Criminal Justice Center and the Masonic Temple. If
you're taking the trolleys or El (recommended, parking is impossible), go to
the 13th Street/Juniper Street stations (the end of the trolley line).
Plan to arrive in advance because getting through building security can be
slow.
Room 578 is on the 5th floor on the 15th Street side of the building. Once you
reach the 5th floor, take the hallway to the right, follow that to the end,
then take the intersecting hallway to the left, halfway down to 578 (Also, room
numbers are posted) If you have any comments or concerns about the proposed
development, and particularly if you are opposed, I encourage you to write a
letter and e-mail it to Jonathan Farnham, Ph.D., Acting Historic Preservation
Director of the Philadelphia Historical Commission, at the address below
today. The Committee takes community comments very seriously and if there are
no comments on the proposed development, it will likely move forward.
