This work extensively examines the architectural heritage of Philadelphia during the colonial period, highlighting significant buildings and their cultural context.

The opening of the volume serves as a preamble, providing a foreword that sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of colonial architecture in Philadelphia and its surroundings. The authors emphasize the importance of Philadelphia's architectural legacy, which encompasses a rich collection of public buildings and residences that embody the ideals and lifestyle of an era shaped by notable historical events and figures. They outline the book's intention to analyze architectural features critically while integrating historical insights where relevant. With a clear structure ahead, the text foreshadows a detailed examination of various architectural styles, materials, and the historical significance of the buildings covered in subsequent chapters.
