Summary

Plan drawn in black and brown ink of the campus of the University of Pennsylvania at the southwest corner of 4th and Arch Streets, including the streets; buildings labeled University and Charity School; houses labeled as occupied by Dr. Davidson (James Davidson, professor of Greek and Latin), Dr. Rogers (William Rogers, professor of oratory and English), and Dr. Ewing (John Ewing, provost); and adjacent properties labeled with the names of their owners, Jacob Downing and William Sansom. Many measurements are included for segments of boundaries or buildings.
