The institution focuses on the history of American architecture and building technology, and houses architectural archives of 180,000 drawings, over 350,000 photographs, and manuscript holdings of about 1,000 American architects. [3] Since 1950 the Athenaeum has sponsored the annual Athenaeum Literary Award for works of fiction and non-fiction. Historic buildingThe building was designed in 1845 by architect John Notman in the Italianate style, and was one of the first buildings in the city to be built of brownstone,[3] although it was originally planned to be faced in marble – brownstone was used because it was cheaper.[6] Notman's design was influenced by the work of the English architect Charles Barry.[4] The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976, as one of the nation's first examples of a building with a palazzo-style facade, and for its historic importance as an educational institution.[1][5] Today, it is operated as a museum furnished with American fine and decorative arts from the first half of the nineteenth century, and is open to the public free of charge. {{anchor|Athenaeum Literary Award}}Athenaeum Literary AwardThe Athenaeum Literary Award is a literary award presented by Athenaeum of Philadelphia since 1950. It is awarded to authors who are "bona fide residents of Philadelphia or Pennsylvania living within a radius of 30 miles of City Hall".[6] Eligible works are of general fiction or non-fiction; technical, scientific, and juvenile books are not included.[6] The award was established in 1950 by Charles Wharton Stork (1881–1971), who was a board member of the Athenaeum from 1919 until 1968.[6]
