Owen Biddle (1774-1806) was elected to The Carpenters' Company in 1800 and designed the Arch Street Meeting House in 1803. Described as "an ingenious carpenter and architect" ? for his work on the Schuylkill Permanent Bridge, Biddle nonetheless has remained an illusive figure for architectural historians. Conor Lucey's investigation of Biddle will illuminate his work and life. Conor Lucey is a visiting postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. His research project, co-funded by the Irish Research Council and Marie Curie Actions, focuses on urban domestic architecture in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world. Light refreshments served.
