Murchison Building, Historic office building in downtown Wilmington, United States
The Murchison Building rises eleven stories with brick and marble construction at the intersection of Front and Chestnut Streets, overlooking the Cape Fear waterfront.
Completed in 1914 under architect Kenneth MacKenzie Murchison's direction, this structure maintained its status as Wilmington's tallest building until the construction of PPD headquarters in 2007.
The building represents Classical Revival architecture from the early 20th century, featuring symmetrical design elements and traditional ornamental details throughout its exterior.
Located at 201 North Front Street, the Murchison Building contains 62,230 square feet of office space and houses more than 80 commercial tenants across its eleven floors.
The structure retains one of its original Otis elevators with manual operation, reflecting the mechanical engineering standards from the early 1900s.
