Thomas Hockley House, Victorian house near Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, United States.
Located at the intersection of 21st and Locust Streets, the house features a stone-bracketed bay window and twin Moorish arches at its entrance porch.
Architect Frank Furness designed and completed this residential structure in 1875 for Thomas Hockley, a lawyer who supported his architectural career.
The building incorporates polychromatic materials, including brownstone, brick red, gray granite, and dark gray slate, reflecting Victorian architectural principles.
The structure transformed from a private residence into an apartment building after alterations completed in 1894, maintaining this function in present times.
The main chimney cantilevers from the south wall and flares at its top, while abstracted sunflowers appear carved above the portals.
