The work, fully titled Some Account of the Singular Beginnings of Philadelphia in the Province of Pennsylvania, 1682, was published in 1957, often in conjunction with the Carpenters' Company of Philadelphia or the American Philosophical Society. It provides an account of Philadelphia's founding by William Penn in 1682, detailing the initial settlement and development between the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers. Simon was known for producing a detailed, accompanying map titled "Part of old Philadelphia, a map showing historic buildings & sites from the founding until the early nineteenth century." Simon was a prominent figure in Philadelphia's architectural and historical community, serving as chair of the Philadelphia Historical Commission.
