Additional Comments

The year was 1910...and the beginning of the 20th century brought a new era of prosperity to Philadelphia.

Businesses flourished, the downtown district became the center of attention and mass transit made the city more accessible than ever. The popular new automobile was becoming an affordable luxury and people flocked to the dealerships located along Broad Street to see the exciting new models.

The automobile dealerships were lavish temples, and the showroom of the Packard Motor Car Company was a shining example. Acclaimed architect, Albert Kahn, was transported from Detroit to design a building that would be unrivaled in Philadelphia. From the limestone and terra cotta trim to the oversized windows, from the majestic two-story lobby to its intricate rich details, the Packard building was destined to become the model of excellence.

The building has served many purposes since its origin, but none as exciting as when Historic Landmarks for Living restored this relic in 1985 and transformed it into a luxury apartment highrise. While the irreplaceable details of the past have been carefully preserved, great care has been taken to enhance them with contemporary amenities and conveniences to create a quality of life that is still the model of excellence.

Today, the Packard Motor Car Building stands proud, rising above a dramatic rebirth of Philadelphia's downtown business and entertainment districts... and our residents are right in the center of all that is great about city living!
