What does the future hold for the Tanner House? (Philadelphia Inquirer, 12/21/2022)

What does the future hold for the Tanner House? Historic preservation grad students have ideas.

Historic preservation graduate students at the University of Pennsylvania have suggested a number of ideas for future uses of the Henry O. Tanner House in North Philadelphia.

Last week, they presented their proposals at the end of a semester-long Preservation Studio workshop.

The childhood home of the artist Henry O. Tanner, who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and later gained international acclaim after moving to Paris, has been deteriorating for years now. Preservationists are scrambling to try to save it.
