Introducing the 2026 Philadelphia Chapter SAH Tatum Fellow<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians is pleased to announce the recipient of the 2026 George B. Tatum Annual Fellowship. The fellowship supports graduate students and advanced undergraduates in architectural history and related fields by underwriting membership, travel, and lodging expenses associated with attending the Society\u2019s Annual International Conference. This year\u2019s conference will be held in Mexico City.<\/p>\n

The fellowship, which is open to students enrolled in architectural history and theory programs at colleges and universities in the Greater Philadelphia region, has been awarded by the chapter since 2016. (https:\/\/philachaptersah.org\/index.php\/about\/)<\/p>\n

After reviewing a very strong pool of applications, the Tatum Fellowship Committee selected Jenna Mullender, a candidate in the Master\u2019s program in Historic Preservation at the University of Pennsylvania, as this year\u2019s recipient. The committee congratulates Jenna on this well-deserved recognition.<\/p>\n

In her words, “Jenna is interested in how preservation research can uncover histories of resistance embedded in the built environment, previously exploring this topic through interconnected housing and market marronage in colonial Jamaica.” Jenna will share her research with the SAH membership this fall. We look forward to hearing more about her work.<\/p>\n

George Bishop Tatum<\/strong> was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1917 and\u00a0educated at Western Reserve Academy and Princeton University. After a stint as a Captain in the India-China division of the Air Service Command in World War II, he returned to Princeton where he completed his M.F.A. in 1947, and his Ph.D. in 1950. Dr. Tatum taught art history and architectural history at both the\u00a0University of Pennsylvania<\/strong> and the University of Delaware<\/strong>, and advised two generations of architectural historians including Harold Cooledge, William Murtaugh, Matthew Baigell, and Robert B. Ennis.\u00a0He retired from teaching at Delaware in 1978.<\/p>\n

Tatum\u00a0was a founding member of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians<\/strong> and served as its first Vice President, from 1964 to 1966. He was a Fellow of the Athenaeum of Philadelphia<\/strong> and Honorary Member of the American Institute of Architects<\/strong>. He\u00a0is perhaps best remembered for his book, Penn\u2019s Great Town: 250 Years of Philadelphia Architecture Illustrated in Prints and Drawings<\/em>, a catalog of a major exhibition of the same title held at the Philadelphia Art Alliance in 1961. Roger W. Moss, Director Emeritus of Athenaeum of Philadelphia, called Penn\u2019s Great Town \u201cthe first modern book to examine the entire sweep of Philadelphia\u2019s architecture, combining historic images, identified as to source and accompanied by the thoughtful and carefully researched brief essays of genuine merit.\u201d Dr. Tatum passed away in Danville, CA, at the age of 91 in October 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
