Terminal Commerce Building

The Terminal Commerce Building, also known as the North American Building, is a historic complex located in Philadelphia's Callowhill neighborhood. Built between 1929 and 1931, this impressive structure features a blend of office space, showroom, parking garage, warehouse, and freight station, covering over 1.3 million square feet. Designed in the Art Deco style, the fourteen-story front section boasts a striking central tower adorned with terra cotta ornamentation. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, it now serves as a major interconnection and colocation facility, recognized as the most fiber-dense, network-neutral site between New York and Virginia, making it a significant landmark for both tourists and researchers interested in industrial history and modern telecommunications.
