Born: 1743, Died: 1790 Israel Hallowell was a master builder, a founder of the Friendship Carpenters Company, and an "encourager" of the Philadelphia edition of Abraham Swan's The British Architect (R. Bell for J. Norman, 1775), the first book on architecture published in America. During the 1770s he took three boys as apprentices: Samuel Lawrence, Timothy Cummins, and Simon Fortiner. When the Friendship Carpenters Company merged with The Carpenters' Company in 1786, Hallowell signed The Company articles.
