Wagner Free Institute of Science, 1700 West Montgomery Ave Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA
The Wagner Free Institute of Science exists as a rare, if not entirely peerless, relic of American Victorian educational-institutional architecture. The Institute remains essentially unaltered in "its original program, uniting the functions of a museum, research institution and a private school."...The Wagner Free Institute of Science`s direct association with renowned biologist, Joseph Leidy, and its embodiment of major nineteenth-century movements in education and educational philanthropy further mark the building`s unparalleled importance.
