Abstract (en)

Catalogue of the 1989 exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum illustrating the history and the program of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and its monuments, especially the museum itself, as well as the buildings around Logan Circle, in the context of the City Beautiful movement and the political administration of Philadelphia. The reviewer focuses on the debate about the classical style in architecture between the museum's director, Fiske Kimball, and the parkway's architect Paul Cret. Also comments on the roles of Horace Trumbauer and Clarence Zantzinger and their firms.
