WELCOME TO THE FIREHOUSE
BE THE FIRST TO LIVE IN HISTORY.
SINCE
A Story of Transformation
Engine Company No. 29 stands at 1221N. 4th Street in the South Kensington neighborhood of northeast Philadelphia. The building was constructed not only during a period of significant architectural achievement in fire house design but also during a period of significant growth and formalization of the Philadelphia City fire department. Engine Company No. 29 retains its integrity, as both the overall form and defining architectural features remain intact since the time of construction.
Preserved History, Inspired Future

The Neighborhood
Nestled between Northern Liberties and Fishtown - We lovingly refer to South Kensington as the “hot or golden pocket” - residents benefit from both neighboring, Zagat rated, bustling areas with renowned restaurants - but also are immediately surrounded by a vibrant arts culture with a blossoming identity of its own.
