Notes
  • Significance: The Wagner Free Institute of Science exists as a rare, if not entirely peerless, relic of American Victorian educational-institutional architecture. The Institute remains essentially unaltered in "its original program, uniting the functions of a museum, research institution and a private school."...The Wagner Free Institute of Science's direct association with renowned biologist, Joseph Leidy, and its embodiment of major nineteenth-century movements in education and educational philanthropy further mark the building's unparalleled importance.
