Inquirer Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Lower North Philadelphia, United States.
The 18-floor Inquirer Building features a brick exterior and combines Art Deco, International Style, and Beaux-Arts architectural elements in its construction.
Built in 1924 by architects Rankin, Kellogg & Crane, the structure served as the headquarters for The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper for many decades.
The building represents the early 20th-century media power through its connection to one of the oldest continuously operating newspapers in the United States.
Located at 400-440 North Broad Street, the structure maintains its position on the National Register of Historic Places since July 1996.
The edifice marked a significant shift in Philadelphia's architectural development, introducing taller structures while respecting traditional height limitations of that period.
