I looked at some of the Charter Books at the Philadelphia City Archives, and saw the
charters for the Carroll Building Association, as well as for the Carroll Building
Association Nos. 4 & 6, and there was not a single Carroll on the board of directors.
Unfortunately, my time was limited, so I was unable to look at them all.
As to Benedict Carroll, I am unaware of any connection betweeen my ggGrandfather Patrick
Carroll with him, although I certainly cannot rule out the possibility.
I believe, but cannot confirm, that Patrick Carroll was born ca. 1821 in county Cork,
Ireland. I do know that he had a brother Coleman Carroll, and a brother John, and maybe a
couple of sisters, too.
Patrick Carroll's working years spanned the 1860's and 1870's. I have been to
view several of the properties he worked on (certainly much worked on since, if not
completely re-built over), on Bainbridge street between 22nd & 23rd streets, and on
Montrose street east of Gray's Ferry avenue, as well as a few other possible
locations.
I don't know if this helps you, but if you'd like to correspond, please feel free
to email me at cearbhaill(a)gmail.com.
