Student reports, 1981-96, submitted to Dr. Roger W. Moss for HP 600, his course in historic documentation in the Historic Preservation Program at the University of Pennsylvania. Each report focuses in depth on a particular house, standing or demolished, mostly within Philadelphia's present city limits. The reports are the intellectual property of their authors, who should be contacted for permission to quote or reproduce from them, but they are publicly available for research purposes at the Athenaeum of Philadelphia.
