- Notes:
- While drawing ZAB482*001 has been given to "Zantzinger & Borie", the firm name was changed to "Borie & Smith" in 1951, per the Biographical dictionary of Philadelphia architects, p.85. The presence of the "Zantzinger & Borie" name in the title block probably indicates use of old reprinted drawing sheets, without changing the name form.
