Abigail Vare School, Neoclassical school building in Pennsport, Philadelphia, US
The three-story stone structure features Ionic columns, Palladian windows, and a central projecting pediment located across from Dickinson Square Park.
Constructed between 1903 and 1904, the educational institution received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in December 1986.
The institution bears the name of Abigail Vare, mother of three influential Philadelphia politicians and contractors known as the Vare Brothers.
In 2014, Concordia Group purchased the building for redevelopment, planning to transform the structure into residential apartments.
The building renovation project includes the construction of six townhouses adjacent to the main structure, with 41 apartment units inside.
