Note photograph of the facade which was used during the initial sketching and carving process for reference. Elements of the Lenapi Hall building and clock which are recognizable in the community are the focus of the design. The Building History: At the southeast corner of East State Street and South Main Street in Doylestown is Lenape Hall One of the most distinctive buildings in Doylestown, the building was designed by architects Addison Hutton & Thomas Cernea and dedicated November 17th 1874. It originally provided Doylestown with a large town hall for public meetings, a concentrated store area and a much-needed indoor market. In the early 20th century, the Strand Theater showed movies here until the building of the New Strand Theater, in 1925. In effect it was a Victorian shopping mall, which had a strong influence on the town’s commercial identity. from the doylestown historical society http://www.doylestownhistorical.org/BuildingRecognition/Lenape.htm In collaboration with Landscape Design Group Inc.
