Tacony's Company Town is a place made significant by the relationships that exist between memory, present community, and future revitalization. The purpose of this studio is to identify and develop a cohesive preservation plan to meet the historical, cultural, and economic needs of Disston. Much of the historic fabric survives from the commercial, residential, institutional, open space, and industrial components of Henry Disston's 19th and 20th century company town. The enduring nature of each component's physical fabric acts as a driving force in our view of the community and its continued preservation. Disston's significance lies in the sum of these parts.
