Portico Row, Greek Revival rowhouses in Washington Square West, Philadelphia, United States.
Portico Row comprises sixteen connected residences with front buildings, piazzas, and rear buildings along Spruce Street in Philadelphia's historic district.
Thomas Ustick Walter designed these residential buildings between 1831 and 1832, later contributing his architectural expertise to the United States Capitol building.
Each pair of houses features matching entrance porticos supported by Ionic columns, reflecting the architectural preferences of Philadelphia's 19th-century middle class.
The property spans 1.3 acres at 900-930 Spruce Street, offering visitors opportunities to examine early American urban residential architecture.
The Historic American Buildings Survey documented these mirror-image pairs of houses in 1975, preserving details of their architectural elements for future generations.
