"Baugh & Sons Company was founded in 1855 and was one of the oldest and largest fertilizer manufacturers in the United States during the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. Baugh manufactured a variety of ground bone-based agricultural fertilizers that were tailored for a wide range of crops. They later expanded into the manufacture of animal charcoal, glue, and chemicals. Baugh’s corporate offices were located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By the early twentieth century Baugh products were widely available from a network of independently owned farm supply stores. In its yearly almanacs they suggested the appropriate brand of Baugh fertilizer for specific crops. Baugh Chemical Company was purchased by Kerr-McGee Oil Industries, Incorporated in 1963. Kerr-McGee ceased to exist as an independent entity in 2006 when purchased by Houston, Texas-based Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. "

The wealthy Daniel Baugh, a chemical magnate who devoted his time to civic and philanthropic ventures, took notice of the building after the dental school vacated. Baugh was at various points of his life president of Girard Bank, director of the Delaware Insurance Company, director of the Commercial Museum, president of the School of Design for Women (now Moore College of Art), director of the Philadelphia Bourse, director of the Belt Line Railroad Company, president of the Sanitarium Association, president of the Philadelphia Art Club, president of the Philadelphia Art Federation, and president of the Archeology and Paleontology Department at the University of Pennsylvania.

On top of his myriad responsibilities and commitments, Baugh became involved with Jefferson Medical College, with an underlying interest in becoming chairman of the school’s board of trustees. Around 1909, Baugh inspected the Jefferson’s brand new building at 10th and Walnut and found the Department of Anatomy to be severely inadequate and outdated. He set his sights on providing a new home for the department that would be rivaled by no other medical school.

The former Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery building was available, close enough to Jefferson’s campus, and was already laid out for educational use. In April 1910 Baugh had Jefferson purchase the place for $48,000, taking out a substantial mortgage. One month later Baugh paid off the mortgage with his own money. Five months later he donated another $40,000 for another overhaul, this time designed by architect John Torrey Windrim, which included an addition to the building fitted with the most up-to-date technology and equipment.

Work on the building was complete in September 1911. By the time the new school opened Baugh had other philanthropists donating to the project. He used his own funds to purchase all the furnishings and equipment. His contributions to the school on 11th Street are said to have totaled over $200,000. Naturally, Jefferson Medical College renamed the Department of Anatomy to the Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy of the Jefferson College of Philadelphia (certainly an early example of this practice, which dominates the ed-med sector today). A dedication ceremony took place on September 26th, 1911, showcasing the outstanding, 29,350 square foot facility that included a cadaver room in the basement that could hold 350 bodies, a library, a small anatomical museum, multiple laboratories, and two surgical amphitheaters."
