ABOUT THE BUILDING
Engine Company No. 29 was designed by prolific Philadelphia architect John Torrey Windrim(1866-1934), and constructed in 1895. The building is considered an intact and rare example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture in Philadelphia. The building was constructed not only during a period of significant growth and formalization of the Philadelphia City fire department and is consequently representative of a unique period of firehouse history in Philly. The entire front façade was restored, including the recreation of key ornamental details and features. The project leveraged their expert and passionate team of technicians to preserve and restore the aesthetic integrity of the historic building through the true art of skilled craftsmanship.

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.
