1616 Walnut Street Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Center City, Philadelphia, US

The 1616 Walnut Street Building reaches ninety-four meters with twenty-four stories of limestone and granite construction in downtown Philadelphia.

Built in 1929 by architects Tilden, Register & Pepper with Wark & Co, the structure earned recognition at the 1930 International Buildings Congress in Budapest.

The building exemplifies the transformation of Philadelphia's commercial district during the early twentieth century through its architectural features and urban positioning.

Located at the intersection of Walnut and Chancellor Streets, the building includes a five-story parking garage and serves as both office space and residential units.

The 1983 National Register of Historic Places listing protects the structure's original elements while allowing modern adaptations for contemporary residential use.
