Property Description
Wrapped on all four sides by a light, monochromatic stone façade supported by brick and structural steel, the building's symmetrical massing, arched windows, Ionic pilasters, and dentiled cornice create a timeless sense of prestige. The second-floor piano nobile features dramatic semi-circular windows that flood the interior with natural light, while the ornate stone detailing and inscribed frieze speak to a level of craftsmanship rarely found today.
The ground floor welcomes visitors with a raised entry and classically ornamented stone surround, flanked by original metal window grilles and ornate historic gates that remain intact. A former vault extension at the rear adds intrigue and flexible use possibilities, ideal for secure storage, VIP areas, or creative buildouts.
Zoned for Assembly Cabaret, this property is exceptionally well-suited for:
Live performance or music venue
Theater or cultural arts space
Event hall or private club
Upscale lounge, cabaret, or destination nightlife concept
Creative studio, gallery, or experiential retail
Located on East York Street just steps from the York–Dauphin Station on the Market-Frankford Line, the property offers excellent accessibility and visibility in a rapidly evolving corridor with strong foot traffic and transit connectivity.
This is more than a commercial space—it's a statement building with history, character, and zoning that invites bold ideas. For operators seeking a one-of-a-kind venue that cannot be replicated, this iconic Kensington landmark is ready for its next chapter.
Schedule a private tour and experience the presence, scale, and potential firsthand.
