How Can We Help?
The John Stewart Houses are a set of five rowhouses in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2] They were all built in 1870 using the same Italianate design by Philadelphia architect John Stewart. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 20, 1979.[1]
Stewart bought the lots in 1870, while he, according to the deed, took out a $61,000 loan for construction of the buildings. Henry Phillippi, a carpenter who was apparently the contractor for the houses, received partial interest in several of them in the early 1870s. After Stewart died, the completed houses were sold in a sheriff's sale in 1874.[2]
