Lewis, Hon. Edwin O. (1879-1974)
description: Edwin O. Lewis (1879-1974) was a long-time member of the Athenaeum and its President from 1950 to 1955. Born in Richmond, VA, Lewis came to Philadelphia at the age of eighteen to attend the University Of Pennsylvania Law School. In 1923 he was elected Judge of Philadelphia's Court of Common Pleas, a position he held for thirty-four years.
description: Lewis's distinguished record of public service is highlighted by his efforts to restore the Independence Hall area. He was the leader of the drive which created both Independence Mall and the Independence National Historical Park in the 1950s. The Mall's Lewis Quadrangle and the Lewis fountain were named for him.
description: In this portrait, by Agnes Allen (b. 1897), Lewis holds the Independence Mall blueprints. A native Philadelphian, Allen specialized in portraiture; she studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Barnes Foundation. Frame is an early 20th-century reproduction, installed in 2001.

Lewis, Howard W. (1854-1940)
description: Howard W. Lewis was a member of the Athenaeum Board of Directors for fifty-two years, serving as Treasurer from 1888 to 1926 and as Vice President from 1926 until his death in 1940. A banker by profession, Lewis was also a philanthropist, historian, and sports enthusiast. This portrait was acquired in 1949 by bequest of Lewis's widow, Mabel Potter Lewis, who also served on the Athenæum Board of Directors. Molarsky, born 1885 in Kiev, emigrated to Philadelphia where he became a student at the School of Industrial Arts. An accomplished portrait and still life painter, he won many awards, including a silver medal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, San Francisco (1915), a gold medal from the Art Club of Philadelphia (1919), and a silver medal at the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition (1926).

Lukens, Isaiah (1779-1846)
description: Isaiah Lukens (1779-1846) was best known in his own day as a maker of town clocks, but his mechanical genius led him also into the manufacture of machine tools, mathematical and surgical instruments. His father made clocks (see example on first floor) and the son made the towering clock at the Athenaeum (Busch Reading Room).
description: This portrait descended in the family of Franklin Williams along with a number of other Lukens items later donated by his widow in his memory. Charles Willson Peale is known to have painted Lukens (1816; Franklin Institute), but the Peale experts are not in agreement about which Peale did this painting; all agree it is a member of the family.
creator: Peale, Rembrandt (attributed)
date: 1800 (circa)
