| CONTENT DESCRIPTION | |||
| Abstract | The Library's holdings were moved to the Drexel Building (former home of Philadelphia Stock Exchange and the site of the present Library) across the street from Philosophical Hall to alleviate space issues created by a growing collection. The Library of APS was housed in the Drexel Building, at Fifth and Chestnut Streets (on the site of the former Library Company building) until it was torn down in 1954 as part of the Federal Government's plan for the creation of the Independence National Historical Park. | ||
