Clinton Street Historic District

The Clinton Street Historic District in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a charming national historic district featuring 71 brick rowhouses constructed between 1835 and 1850. These elegant 3 1/2- to 4-story homes exemplify the classic Philadelphia rowhouse design, complete with front buildings, piazzas, and back buildings. Once a fashionable residential area in the 19th century, it was home to notable figures such as architect Addison Hutton and writer Agnes Repplier. The district, which includes the separately listed J. Peter Lesley House, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in architectural history and Philadelphia's cultural heritage.
