Facade of Catholic Philopatrian Literary Institute, 1923 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Now on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1869, Thomas McKean hired architects John Fraser, Frank Furness and George W. Hewitt to build adjoining Italianate city houses at 1923 and 1925 Walnut Street for himself and his son.[1] Following Thomas McKean's 1890 death, Edward T. Stotesbury purchased the house at 1925 Walnut, and made it his Philadelphia residence. Henry Pratt McKean demolished the house his father had built for him at 1923 Walnut, and replaced it in 1897 with a Colonial Revival city house designed by architects Cope & Stewardson.[2] In 1910, Stotesbury purchased the house at 1923 Walnut, and expanded his residence into it.[3]
