Tulpehocken Station Historic District
Tulpehocken Station Historic District, Historic residential district in Germantown, Philadelphia, United States.
The district spans 80 acres with 37 significant buildings and 118 contributing properties, featuring residences built between 1850 and 1900.
The Pennsylvania Railroad constructed Tulpehocken Station in 1878, establishing a vital transportation link that accelerated suburban development in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood.
The architecture combines Carpenter Gothic, Italianate, and High Victorian styles, reflecting the suburban residential design evolution of Philadelphia's middle class.
The district borders extend from McCallum Street to Pennsylvania Railroad tracks and from Tulpehocken Street to Walnut Lane, encompassing six square blocks.
The Ebenezer Maxwell House from 1859 and Charles Currie House from 1899 demonstrate the architectural transformation from Picturesque Movement to Victorian era.
