 PACSCL -- The U. S. Naval Asylum
William Strickland was appointed "to make the necessary contracts for materials and superintend the building of a permanent asylum for disabled seamen, andc, at Philadelphia." Thomas Harris was also appointed superintendent, probably to carry out sanitary arrangements.
When Strickland resigned as superintendent, the roof had been completed and the structure was weathertight, allowing the safe storage of materials until construction could be resumed, and the care of the Naval Asylum was transferred to Commodore William Bainbridge, commandant of the Navy Yard.
In response to friction arising from this multiple use, William Strickland was retained in 1842 to create a lath and plaster partition across the middle of the building, with the northern wing housing the asylum and academy and the southern wing the hospital.

 Strickland, William (1788 - 1854) -- Philadelphia Architects and Buildings
During the War of 1812, Strickland was primarily concerned with defense work, using the engineering skills that he had gained with Latrobe; but after the War he secured several more commissions, culminating in the structure that would be a turning point for both his career and for the course of American architecture.
Whether the idea for this design originated with Strickland himself or with his mentor Latrobe is perhaps less important than the impact of the Second Bank as a seminal work in the history of neoclassicism, and specifically the Greek Revival, in the United States.
With this important commission Strickland was established in Philadelphia as a professional architect; a growing number of architectural and engineering commissions followed; and he was elected to the American Philosophical Society, the Franklin Institute, and the Musical Fund Society in Philadelphia.
