    2.05: Boarding Houses

    This week we are talking about boarding houses, and we got to interview Dr. Wendy Gamber, who is one of the leading scholars on the history of the American boarding house. We trace Elfreth’s Alley’s history of boarding houses through the 18th and 19th centuries to the era when, nationally, the institution came under fire. Yet even when the boarding house seemed to fade into the sands of time, we see emerging echoes of it in the 21st century.

    2.02: Building Houses, Part I

    This week, on the Alley Cast, we start our exploration of the story of building houses in Philadelphia over the past three centuries. In Part I, we talk with Alex Palma of Carpenters’ Hall and Rachel Schade, architect and professor at Drexel University, about early construction in Philadelphia. How did master builders learn their trade? Who else was involved in construction? How did the threat of fire and financial concerns such as insurance influence the design and building of houses?
