Robert H Foederer's Residence - 1246 Broad Street - Hazelhurst & Huckel Architects - The Brickbuilder February 1895






MR. ROBERT H. FOEDERER‘S RESIDENCE, PHILADELPHIA.

HAZELHURST & HUCKEL, ARCHITECTS.


This is the latest of the many elegant residences built on North Broad Street.It is constructed of buff Roman-size brick and white terra-cotta, with first story of Indiana limestone. The columns to front entrance and loggia above third story, also spandrel over the main door, are Pabanazza marble. The terra-cotta work was made by Stephens, Armstrong & Conkling of Philadelphia, and the brick by the Eastern Hydraulic-Press Brick Co.


The color tone of the building is exceedingly pleasing, and, with the details and modelling, has been carried out with great care and fidelity, and is another example of the use in combination of brick and terra-cotta in Philadelphia buildings of recent date.
