SUBURBAN STATION ===================

Suburban Station is an art deco office building and underground commuter rail station in Penn Center, Philadelphia. Its official SEPTA address is 16th Street and JFK Boulevard. The station is owned and operated by SEPTA and is one of the three core Center City stations on SEPTA Regional Rail. The station was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad to replace the original Broad Street Station and opened on September 28, 1930. The Comcast Center, situated on the north half of its block near Arch Street, adds a "winter garden" on the south side, which serves as a new back entrance to the station, with the commuter rail tracks about 50 feet below street level. .

PHOENIX LUXURY CONDO ===============

Built in 1925, The Phoenix condo is the former headquarters of the Insurance Company of North America (INA), for many years the oldest shareholder-owned insurance company in the nation.

Built in 1925, The Phoenix condo is the former headquarters of the Insurance Company of North America (INA), for many years the oldest shareholder-owned insurance company in the nation.

Awarded National Historic Landmark status, The Phoenix, in its new incarnation, retains opulent details that have graced the structure since its inception—coffered ceilings, Kasota and Carrera marble floors and walls, ornate bronze paneled elevators, and elaborate mill and plaster work. Every care was taken to preserve the historic details of the Georgian Revival Tower while designing and constructing the building with the most modern technologies and amenities available. The coalescence of old-fashioned craftsmanship and contemporary design gives The Phoenix an elegance rarely seen in modern construction. The Phoenix underwent a major renovation in 2002. Every care was taken to preserve the architectural beauty of the Georgian Revival Tower while providing a “new” building with the latest of technologies and energy efficiency

Rittenhouse Square- spring 2020

The park grounds was designed by renowned architect Paul Phillippe Cret. Cret, who also designed the original Barnes Foundation, the Rodin Museum and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, designed Rittenhouse Square in 1913 and his vision remains today. Cret’s design creates many paths that carry pedestrian traffic through the park. At the center of the park is a central plaza which contains a reflecting pool and an ornately carved stone balustrade. Classical urns with ancient Greek inspired reliefs adorn the entrances of the square. The park also contains a number of significant pieces of public art including Antoine-Louis Barye’s “Lion Crushing a Serpent,” which was inspired by the French Revolution. The park is filled with benches and open green space to serve the thousands who use the park each day. Throughout the park, large century old trees provide ample shade for all who enjoy the square.

For many, Rittenhouse Square serves as the beautiful backdrop for their lunchbreak or their evening constitutionals. The square is also a popular gathering place for nearby young families; children running in the grass and parents pushing strollers is a common sight. But if you wish to do more than enjoy a stroll or relaxing picnic lunch, Rittenhouse Square is also home to a number of events. Rittenhouse Square plays host to flower markets, art shows, craft fairs and weekly farmer’s markets. There are also concerts in the square during the summer months and even a black tie gala. During the winter months Rittenhouse Square gets decked out for the holiday season and celebrations mark the lighting of the park’s Christmas tree and Menorah. All year long there is something happening in Rittenhouse Square. (theconstitutional.com)
