History and architectural features

[edit]

These brick rowhouses were built circa 1815, and each measure between sixteen feet, six inches, and twenty feet wide and thirty-five feet deep. They were designed with Greek Revival-style design details and built using the typical Philadelphia rowhouse plan of the period with front building, piazza, and back building.

Noted Philadelphia architect William Strickland (1788–1854) resided at 219 South 9th Street from 1823 to 1829.[2]

This series of rowhouses, which was designated as a national historic district in 1977, is located in the Washington Square West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1]
