The early 20th century was an era of new prosperity for Philadelphia. Businesses flourished, the downtown district became the center of attention and mass transit made the city more accessible than ever. The popular new automobile was becoming an affordable luxury and people flocked to the auto dealerships located along Broad Street to see the new models.

The dealerships were lavish temples and the showroom of the Packard Motor Car Company, built in 1910 at 317 N. Broad Street was a prime example. Packard commissioned acclaimed midwestern architect, Albert Kahn, to create a building that would be unrivaled in Philadelphia. From the limestone and terra cotta trim on the exterior to the majestic two-story lobby inside, the Packard was designed to be the model of excellence.

The building has served many purposes over the years, but none as exciting as when Historic Landmarks For Living restored this relic in 1985 and transformed it into a dramatic apartment highrise. Today, The Packard Motor Car Building still stands proudly as a landmark for luxury living, and the perfect residence for people who are driven by a penchant for perfection.
