This is a project that we had to complete for our United States history class as well as our English class. My project was about Memorial hall in fairmount park and how it came to be known as Memorial hall and exactly the impact it had on the community.

This project was to take a building named after someone and find the history behind the building and the person. We needed to find out why that building had the person'd name on it. It was also a project that helped our teachers get a sense of where we all were from because my school is so diverse. 

For this I decided to do Prince Hall Elementary School located in the northwest region of Philadelphia. This video is a description of who Prince Hall the man was and what made people name a school after him.

For my building history project, I decided to research my local hardware store, which is located on 5th and Porter streets in South Philly. The store has recently turned 100 years old and I decided that it would be nice to create the one and only website (or record of history accessible to the public for that matter) for the store since it has been around for so long. While doing this project, I have learned a lot about the building and the family history through interviews and photographs that were provided by the owner (Irvin Bruskin). After completing several aspects of the project and reviewing my sources, I learned a lot and gained insight as to how neighborhoods change and why it is of utmost importance to keep our history alive today. The links below are to the website that I created, which contains the complete history of the family owned business as well as the history of the building. The website include photographs, videos, and a slideshow that can easily be accessed on each page.  

Here is the website that I created.

Here is my annotated bibliography.

At Science Leadership Academy, the Juniors in Earth and Water Streams had to do a project for both English 3 and American History. The basis of  the project was to build a story about a building in your neighborhood and the person that the building is named after. For my project I decided to use Clara Barton Elementary School for the building, I then told the story of Clara Barton and Clara Barton Elementary School.

100 Years And Counting

For my "Building History" benchmark project, I chose to study the Martin Luther King High School. I learned a lot of interesting facts about the building and I found out that it has a very unique structure. To learn more, click on the link above.
