Turchi Properties: The Leader in Philadelphia Transformation
23: A Condominium
The former AAA parking garage, which was built in 1912, is located on South 23rd Street between Market and Chestnut streets. AAA used the building as a maintenance and storage facility for its fleet of roadside assistance vehicles and for document storage. This complete conversion was designed by locally based Cope Linder architects and completed in 2006. The 83 units surround a beautifully landscaped courtyard and are just blocks from Rittenhouse Square, 30th Street Station and University City.
410 Shurs Lane
The S.S. Keely Planning Mill stands at the northern end of Main Street, at the intersection of Leverington Avenue. The three-story structure remains as one of the few mills of its era along the upper portion of the canal. Constructed in 1876-77 by Samuel Streeper Keely, the rubble stone structure with contrasting bricks, arched lintels and a brick detailed cornice marked an advance in Keely’s lumber, construction and manufacturing enterprise.
Circa 1980, CB Kershner Office & Furniture Supply Company opened up and thrived at the mill until the late 1990s, only to now be developed and recycled into prime condo space right in the heart of Manayunk and Roxborough.
The Green Tree Apartments
Located at 400-414 Walnut Street, the former General Accident Assurance Corporation headquarters is comprised of two historically interconnected buildings. The original building, designed by Philadelphia architect Frank Watson of the firm Watson & Huckel, was constructed in 1906 as a six-story brick Beaux Arts Classical office building with limestone detailing. In 1923, the company greatly expanded its office space with an adjacent 10-story limestone-clad Neo-Classical Revival office building with an 11th-floor penthouse. The building renovations were finished in 2002 by Turchi Properties. It is included within the boundaries of and is a contributing building to the Society Hill Historic District.
1930 Chestnut
Located at the southeast corner of 20th and Chestnut streets, the Aldine Trust Co. building was designed by Philadelphia architect Arthur W. Hall of the firm Gravel & Hall. The building was designed in 1929 in a restrained classical style with minimal ornamentation, but not completed until 1930, in the midst of the Great Depression. The tower of the building has a brick façade above the third floor, with a limestone paneled exterior below the third level and is topped with a decorative limestone cornice. Turchi Properties has converted this former office building to residential, finishing in 2003. The property’s 22 floors provide spectacular views for the 144 renovated units that are just two blocks north of Rittenhouse Square.
1700 Walnut
Designed by architect LeRoy Rothschild and built in 1925 as a commercial building, 1700 Walnut is located on the corner of 17th and Walnut streets. The 17-story building was constructed with red brick masonry in the Beaux Arts style. The building also has elements of the Commercial Building style of a two-story painted limestone base, an upper shaft of regularly spaced 1-over-one double-hung sash with bracketed sills and capped with a cast stone and brick cornice. The interior floor plan has a central loaded corridor with residences on either side. In 1999, the building was converted to 64 apartment units from the 3rd floor up by Turchi Properties. Just one block east of Rittenhouse Square, it is located in the Center City West Historic District.
