Samuel Sloan was one of the leading Philadelphia-based architects of the mid-nineteenth century. Born in Chester County, PA, Sloan has been characterized by his biographer as “brash, opportunistic, inventive, a quick leaner and a driving working who was hungry for success and who had, throughout his life, an abiding belief in America’s destiny.” Trained as a carpenter, Sloan came to Philadelphia in the mid-1830’s and is said to have worked at the Eastern State Penitentiary and the Pennsylvania Hospital for Mental and Nervous Diseases. He only style himself an architect from 1851 after winning commissions for the Delaware County, PA courthouse and jail and an Italian villa for Andrew Eastwick on the site of Bartram’s Gardens in Philadelphia. Early in his career Sloan began to publish the series of books that would make him one of the most prolific American authors on architecture of the mid-nineteenth century. In July of 1868 Sloan began to issues our periodicals, the first architecture periodical to be published in the U.S. His career took a turn when the panic of the Civil War broke out. RAREA1869MUVA.
