Old
Allentown Preservation Association
Features Liz Bradbury and Trish Sullivan’s House
on the House Tour!
Liz and Trish are grateful to volunteers:
Laura Gutierrez,
Anne Huey, Judy Arendt, Don and Melinda Kohn, Adrian
Shanker, Brandon Pariser, Hannah Mesouani, Kathleen
McGinley, Diane Heydt, Kym Kleinsmith, Kelly Nansteel, and
Hiram Munger for helping with the tour, directing people
through the house, and sharing information! It was agreat
day.
When
Liz Bradbury purchased 427 1/2 N. 9th in 1987 she was only
the second owner since it and the other four Queen Anne
style homes around it, were built in 1910. Patricia
Sullivan moved in just a few months later. In 1997 they
bought 429 which had been all but destroyed by a series of
absentee landlords and years of neglect. Bradbury and
Sullivan gutted and redesigned the new side and combined
the two homes into one by breaking through the stone
foundation, several brick walls and by building a two-story
addition that joined the houses in the back across the
grocer’s alleys. The addition created an interior
courtyard that now contains a private deck surrounded by
the house, and a hot tub.
As you enter 427 1/2, notice the hypertufa planters
Bradbury created for the porches. Inside the living room
note the original oak columns and staircase, the oak
fireplace rescued from another area property, and the
matching woodwork Bradbury created around the doorway
through the wall to 429. Also note the original front
stained glass window in the living room and then notice the
stained glass window on the other side, created by the Neff
Chattoe Company to match it.
On the 429 side check out the solid walnut staircase
Bradbury built from native lumber purchased at a farm
auction in Berks County, and the new handmade woodwork. The
48” wide pocket door to the kitchen was the only
surviving part of the original house.
The open kitchen/dining area allows Sullivan, a gourmet
cook, to be part of the party while food is prepared. The
bricks around the stove came from the wall passages. In the
addition, the built-in table for two allows a year-round
view of the garden. The old kitchen on the other side has
been turned into a open-shelf butler’s pantry, with a
game room beyond.
Outside, don’t miss the koi pond, fruit trees, and
grape arbor, and the urban farm Sullivan and Bradbury have
maintained for 14 years on top of the garages. This organic
kitchen garden, accessible by stairs from the deck, sports
over 50 varieties of vegetable and herbs, and provides most
of their food in the summer and fall.
Bradbury and Sullivan were particularly attracted to the
Old Allentown Historic District by the large number of gay
and lesbian family owned homes, and the area’s broad
diversity. Bradbury, a former college woodworking teacher,
and Sullivan, a former hospital administrator, created and
run the Pennsylvania Diversity Network - the largest Gay,
Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Advocacy organization in
PA and have published the Valley Gay Press newspaper in the
Lehigh Valley since 1998. Bradbury is also the creator of
the Maggie Gale Mystery series which takes place a small PA
city not unlike Allentown.

c. 610 597 8044 / e. Aeshanker@gmail.com
April 28, 2011, Bethlehem, PA – Following a
three-hour public comment hearing, the Bethlehem City
Council Human Resources and Environment Committee voted 3-0
to refer the proposed Human Relations Ordinance to the full
council, with their support. The Committee, chaired by
Gordon Mowrer, also consists of Jean Belinski and David
DiGiacinto. All members of council and the Mayor attended
the meeting. Almost 100 community members attended with 30
speaking in favor and no one spoke against.
Mayor John Callahan introduced the ordinance in September,
and told council that “this important piece of
legislation is long overdue. As a City, we have to be
welcoming to everyone.” Councilwoman Karen Dolan
urged “Swift passage” by the full council as
they consider the ordinance for the first reading on May
18th.
If passed, Bethlehem will become the 21st municipality in
Pennsylvania to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation and gender identity or expression, in addition
to the enumerated protected classes in the state Human
Relations Act, according to Stephen Glassman, Chairperson
of the PA Human Relations Commission. Glassman was on hand
to provide expert testimony and to answer questions
regarding the legislation at the Committee hearing.
Adrian Shanker, Vice President of Pennsylvania Diversity
Network, led the campaign to build public support for this
ordinance. The ordinance is endorsed by 100+ organizations,
businesses, labor unions, and religious leaders in
Bethlehem. Shanker stated, “there is no rational
reason to oppose this legislation. Which is why there is
such broad public support from the arts, labor, faith,
business, and civil rights communities.” Shanker
noted that the legislation is supported by, among others,
the AARP, Planned Parenthood, ArtsQuest, ACLU, Equality PA,
Lehigh Valley Labor Council, and 39 businesses.
Recent statewide polling commissioned by EqualityPA
indicates sustained and strong support for
non-discrimination laws protecting people on the basis of
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. Executive Director,
Ted Martin, said “the support for this is so strong
because most people know what is right and what is wrong,
and they know discrimination is simply wrong.”
Pennsylvania Diversity Network led the campaign to pass
this legislation in Allentown, Easton, and Reading as well.
Liz Bradbury, Executive Director, who presented the Council
Committee with information on past cases of discrimination
in Bethlehem is now “hopeful that [she] can soon
recommend Bethlehem as a safe place to live, work, or visit
for everyone.”
The legislation now goes before the full council, and it is
expected they will support the final version and send it
back to Mayor Callahan for his signature.

LGBT advocacy organization, and is the largest
membership-driven LGBT organization in the Commonwealth of
