The Main Line
Before the Main Line
When the first rail carriage rolled down
the tracks of the Main Line of the Public Works in
1832, it represented a new mode of transportation
following established routes to and from Philadelphia
from the nearby towns and the more distant frontier.
Beginning with animal trails and Indian paths, a network of settlements rapidly spread westward from
the city on the banks of the Delaware. Look at the
local geography in the last days of the colonies and
first days of the Republic.

Main Line Architecture:
Inventing the Manorial Suburb
After the Civil War, a new elite residential landscape
grew up around the edges of the city, populated by
the vividly individualized residences of industrialists
and financiers. They decamped by the modern steampowered trains outside the city and hired the best
architects to design massive, often medieval-style
houses. Their venerability suggested they were
intended to last for generations. They didn’t, and most
are gone. Follow some of the visual and textual documents that give a sense of this lost landscape.

The Main Line
Before the Main Line
When the first rail carriage rolled down
the tracks of the Main Line of the Public Works in
1832, it represented a new mode of transportation
following established routes to and from Philadelphia
from the nearby towns and the more distant frontier.
Beginning with animal trails and Indian paths, a network of settlements rapidly spread westward from
the city on the banks of the Delaware. Look at the
local geography in the last days of the colonies and
first days of the Republic.

Main Line Architecture:
Inventing the Manorial Suburb
After the Civil War, a new elite residential landscape
grew up around the edges of the city, populated by
the vividly individualized residences of industrialists
and financiers. They decamped by the modern steampowered trains outside the city and hired the best
architects to design massive, often medieval-style
houses. Their venerability suggested they were
intended to last for generations. They didn’t, and most
are gone. Follow some of the visual and textual documents that give a sense of this lost landscape.
