About This Property
Welcome to 1629 Locust Street, a once-in-a-generation opportunity
to acquire an architectural masterpiece by Horace Trumbauer.
Built in 1902, Mr. Trumbauer masterfully designed this
five-story townhouse for a sugar baron Edward C. Knight. This
property is one of the few remaining contributions of Mr. Trumbauer
to the architectural history of Philadelphia. In the exterior
facade, Mr. Trumbauer incorporated bold design elements of 18th
Century French architecture, such as wrought iron gates created by
Samuel Yellin on the front door, windows and balconies. The
interior of the Knight Residence is truly exquisite with the most
prominent design feature being the elliptical Carrara marble
staircase with an elegant iron railing that rises four stories to
an oeil-de-boeuf skylight. The second floor is comprised of two
Louis XV style salon rooms, which currently serve as meeting rooms.
These rooms feature elaborate bronze mounts with arched windows and
molded plaster rondels. The third and fourth floors are also
elegantly designed in Louis XVI style. The fifth floor, which
previously served as the butler's room, is connected to the fourth
floor by an interior spiral wooden staircase. With generous CMX-3
zoning, this property provides a blank canvas for occupancy and
redevelopment by either an investor or occupant. The location on
beautiful tree-lined Locust Street is reminiscent of the opulence
and elegance of old-world Philadelphia.
