A Note From Carl Dranoff<br />
The fourth annual Taste of <strong>Ardmore</strong><br />
Food and Fashion Event.<br />
After five years of planning, the redevelopment of the Cricket Lot is officially<br />
moving forward. The new mixed-use project, set to be developed by Dranoff<br />
Properties, will transform <strong>Ardmore</strong> by creating a new hub of local living and<br />
activity. Aimed at bringing new residents, new retail and new businesses to<br />
Lower Merion Township, this revitalization project is a shining example of<br />
Dranoff ’s ongoing commitment to building and enhancing local communities.<br />
In further support of this new vision for <strong>Ardmore</strong>, Dranoff Properties helped<br />
to secure $12 million in state funding while itself investing an additional<br />
$44 million in this exciting project.<br />
Now in the design phase, the project will include 121 premier rental<br />
apartments, about 9,500 square feet of new storefront retail space on Cricket<br />
Avenue and a public parking garage. In the tradition of Dranoff Properties,<br />
the facade of the building will mirror the elegance and historic beauty of the<br />
<strong>Main</strong> <strong>Line</strong>. There are three versions of the public parking garage, which township<br />
officials are considering. Each plan provides a different number of spaces.<br />
Dranoff Properties’ construction of Cricket Lot will add an estimated 900 jobs<br />
and $37 million in earnings to the region over the multi-year construction period.<br />
Upon completion of this exceptional new space, <strong>Ardmore</strong> is projected to see an<br />
estimated 80 new retail jobs and $2 million in annual earnings. There will also be<br />
substantial property taxes generated annually.<br />
This transit-oriented development project will transform a vacant parking<br />
lot into a vibrant, walkable community centered on convenient access to the<br />
<strong>Ardmore</strong> train station. By maximizing access to public transport and improving<br />
walkability, the project will greatly reduce the need for driving. Dranoff<br />
Properties’ vision is the catalyst for putting more feet on the street, creating new<br />
jobs and helping to revitalize an important part of Lower Merion Township.<br />

Take a Stroll Through Our Town ...<br />
The <strong>Ardmore</strong> commercial district has played a pivotal role in the economy of Lower Merion<br />
Township since its development in the early 19th century. In 1811, Dr. James Anderson called the area<br />
“Athensville.” The name was changed in 1873 to <strong>Ardmore</strong>, a Gaelic term signifying “high grounds or<br />
hills.” The various architectural styles in the downtown area represent <strong>Ardmore</strong>’s organic growth and<br />
development through the decades, a trend that continues today. Many business owners have been in<br />
town for years and love to share the history of their buildings with visitors. Most would be glad to have<br />
you stop in and ask questions. Churches may be open for viewing (and resting). But please respect<br />
the privacy of our residents.<br />
In addition to our historic architecture, <strong>Ardmore</strong> has 44 restaurants and more than 200 businesses.<br />
Copies of the <strong>Ardmore</strong> Dining Guide, Business Directory and Guide to Antiques and Resale Shops are<br />
available at the <strong>Ardmore</strong> Initiative office. Special thanks to Lower Merion Township, Jerry Francis<br />
and the Lower Merion Historical Society, Jean Wolf of Wolf Historic Preservation, and Tom Hayden<br />
of the Merion Fire Co. of <strong>Ardmore</strong>.<br />
West Lancaster Avenue<br />
(South Side)<br />
6 W. Lancaster Ave. was the former <strong>Ardmore</strong><br />
National Bank, which opened in 1925. Originally,<br />
it had a symmetrical, neo-classical façade.<br />
The lower level has been altered over the years<br />
for commercial use. It’s currently the home<br />
of Swain Tours.<br />
8-10 W. Lancaster Ave. is an early 20th-century<br />
Art Deco theater constructed between 1913<br />
and1919. The movie-house portion—known as<br />
the Palace Theatre—was added later, lasting<br />
only until Woolworth’s arrived in 1922.<br />
It currently houses PartyLand.<br />
14-28 W. Lancaster Ave. is known as “Colonial<br />
Row” because of its rooflines. Built between<br />
1900 and 1908, this block symbolizes the history<br />
of the downtown <strong>Ardmore</strong> district.<br />
30-38 W. Lancaster Ave., built between 1925<br />
and 1926, was home to the <strong>Ardmore</strong> Theatre.<br />
Note the concrete parapet inscribed with<br />
“<strong>Ardmore</strong>,” the urns, and the sunburst window.<br />
The building has been a historical and social<br />
landmark since its erection.<br />
42 W. Lancaster Ave. is an excellent example of<br />
an early-20th-century commercial building—<br />
one that retains its original appearance. The<br />
Bell Telephone Company constructed this<br />
building circa 1908 as a telephone exchange.<br />
<strong>Ardmore</strong> Avenue<br />
Built in 1917, <strong>Ardmore</strong>’s Masonic Lodge is at<br />
the corner of <strong>Ardmore</strong> and Athens avenues.<br />
Across the street is the <strong>Ardmore</strong> Post Office.<br />
The <strong>Ardmore</strong> House, subsidized apartments<br />
for seniors, now stands on the site of the old<br />
<strong>Ardmore</strong> Avenue School.<br />
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church—located at 36<br />
<strong>Ardmore</strong> Ave., across from the post office—was<br />
built by Furness & Evans in 1887. It contains<br />
three Tiffany Studio windows.<br />
West Lancaster Avenue<br />
(North Side)<br />
Built in 1928, 49-63 W. Lancaster Ave. is an<br />
excellent example of Art Deco design. Note<br />
the colorful pattern repeated along the trim.<br />
21-27 W. Lancaster Ave., a row of four brick<br />
structures with peaked windows and steep<br />
gables, was built as a single block in a Tudor<br />
Revival Style in 1908. It became known as<br />
the Henry Harrison block. The Harrisons<br />
were among the oldest and most prominent<br />
merchant families in <strong>Ardmore</strong>. The property<br />
is now the Junior League of Philadelphia’s<br />
headquarters and thrift store.<br />
Built about 1860 as a residence, 9-13 W.<br />
Lancaster Ave. is one of the oldest structures in<br />
<strong>Ardmore</strong>. A first-floor storefront was added to<br />
the front of the house, perhaps in the 1920s.<br />
Circa-1920 1-3 W. Lancaster Ave. is a tasteful<br />
example of commercial architecture.<br />
East Lancaster Avenue<br />
Located in the heart of the downtown business<br />
district, 7 E. Lancaster Ave. is a fine example<br />
of a Classical Revival bank. Built between<br />
1923 and 1925, the Merion Title and Trust<br />
Company was once <strong>Ardmore</strong>’s principal<br />
financial institution. Note the four pilasters in<br />
the front and the unique sundial on the right<br />
side. Home to Primavera Pizza Kitchen since<br />
the early 1990s, the bank was dedicated to those<br />
who fought in World War I. The downstairs<br />
vault is available for private functions.<br />
Just inside the entrance of 16 E. Lancaster Ave.<br />
(Plaza 16) is an interesting inner courtyard with<br />
a retractable roof. The atrium building is now<br />
architectural and design offices.<br />
Now Hunan Restaurant, 47 E. Lancaster Ave.<br />
was once the Lower Merion Federal Savings and<br />
Loan. A plaque still bears the inscription.<br />
Cricket and Station avenues<br />
Cricket Avenue contains a nice mix of 1920s<br />
commercial buildings. 47-55 Cricket are some<br />
of the earlier residences, built circa 1881-1895.<br />
13 E. Lancaster Ave./9-11 Station Ave. was once a<br />
corner apartment building. Now home to Radio<br />

Shack, it features recessed window areas<br />
and tripartite windows dating to 1913-1919.<br />
Rittenhouse Place<br />
Rittenhouse Place was laid out by Harry J.<br />
Rittenhouse in 1926, when a building permit was<br />
issued for construction of a “business building<br />
and two family dwellings.”<br />
52-56 E. Lancaster Ave. originally had a twin<br />
building to the west (demolished in the 1960s<br />
to make room for what is now a bank). The pair<br />
undoubtedly created an elegant entryway to the<br />
generous new boulevard. Both this building and<br />
10-18 Rittenhouse Place—which feature French<br />
doors and iron balustrades—are admired for<br />
their 20th-century Spanish eclecticism.<br />
15 Rittenhouse Place was constructed in 1940<br />
and is a fine example of mid-20th-century<br />
commercial design.<br />
49-51 Rittenhouse Place were the first buildings<br />
built on the plot in 1927-1928. 51 Rittenhouse<br />
Place originally housed the <strong>Main</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Chronicle.<br />
Residential highlights<br />
Built in 1890, 101 Linwood Ave. is a Princess<br />
Anne Victorian. Nearby 105 Linwood Ave.<br />
is a Horace Trumbauer design from about 1900.<br />
44 Linwood Ave. (adjacent to the new Linwood<br />
Park) was constructed in 1910 for Joseph S.<br />
Pearce. Known at the time as Woodlynne, the<br />
large Tudor Revival home and its carriage house<br />
were recently restored by the new owners.<br />
Other highlights<br />
North America’s oldest skating club, the<br />
Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society,<br />
is located in <strong>Ardmore</strong> on Holland Avenue,<br />
two blocks west of <strong>Ardmore</strong> Avenue.<br />
(From left) 14-28 W. Lancaster Ave., the Palace Theatre, 8-10 W. Lancaster Ave.<br />
Located at St. Paul’s Road and Athens Avenue,<br />
First Baptist Church was built in 1924.<br />
One of three African-American churches<br />
in <strong>Ardmore</strong>, Zion Baptist Church was<br />
established in 1894 and has a unique history.<br />
The congregation moved an existing building<br />
from Lancaster Avenue to the current site at<br />
Greenfield and Spring avenues. It was later<br />
destroyed by fire, and the current church<br />
was built in 1899.<br />
A four-unit dwelling designed by the famed<br />
Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939, Suntop Homes is<br />
located west of Church Road at the corner of<br />
Sutton Road and East Spring Avenue. The the<br />
time, Wright envisioned multiple units of<br />
low-cost, standardized housing for families. The<br />
project was dubbed the “<strong>Ardmore</strong> Experiment.”<br />
In the end, only a single set of four was finished,<br />
each unit renting for $55 a month. The modern<br />
style—featuring, wood, brick and glass—was<br />
extremely unique to <strong>Ardmore</strong> at the time.<br />
St. Colman’s Roman Catholic Church was<br />
founded in 1907. The design of the church at<br />
Lancaster Avenue and Argyle Road was inspired<br />
by French and English Gothic architecture.<br />
It was completed in 1926.<br />
Across from St. Colman’s is the Lower Merion<br />
Township Administration Building at 75 E.<br />
Lancaster Ave., built in 1926.<br />
Founded 1765 by the German Lutheran Church,<br />
St. Paul’s Cemetery includes the tombstones<br />
of war veterans who fought as far back the<br />
