Packard Motor Corporation Building, Industrial landmark in Callowhill, Philadelphia, United States.

The nine-story Packard Motor Corporation Building features a steel frame structure with reinforced concrete and terra cotta cladding at 319 North Broad Street.

Built between 1910 and 1911, the building initially served as a Packard Motor Car Company showroom before becoming the Philadelphia Record newspaper headquarters in 1928.

The building represents the Chicago School architectural movement through its design principles of combining functionality with structural innovation in commercial buildings.

The structure, transformed into residential apartments in 1986, maintains its position as a contributing element to the Callowhill Industrial Historic District.

The building stands as one of the earliest examples of reinforced concrete use in commercial architecture, designed by industrial architect Albert Kahn.
