Like the Rittenhouse Philly condos
of today, Rittenhouse Square has always symbolized wealth and quality.
Long before the emergence of Rittenhouse Square, the very first house
of the Square was erected in 1840. From this point on, the Square went
on to keep its high residential quality. A building boom began in the
1850s, and by the second half of the 19th century; the Rittenhouse
Square neighborhood became the most fashionable residential section of
Philadelphia.
Architect Paul Cret, one of the men
responsible for designing the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and many of its
buildings, designed Rittenhouse Square’s entrance in 1913. He
also designed the Square’s central plaza with stone railings,
pool, and fountain.
Even back then, to have lived on or
near Rittenhouse Square was a mark of prestige. Many of the houses that
once stood as private homes in Rittenhouse Square now exist as Phila Luxury and High-Rise Condos, town homes, and/or apartment buildings.
