Property Description
Own a Living Piece of Philadelphia History: 251–253 S. Camac Street offers a rare opportunity to own a 5-story, 5,542 SF historic building on Philadelphia's only wooden-block street, affectionately known as “The Little Street of Clubs.” Once home to the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and later a restaurant, this versatile property is rich with cultural significance and timeless character. Located in the heart of Washington Square West, just steps from Spruce and Locust Streets, this building is surrounded by Philadelphia's most cherished creative institutions—the Plastic Club, Sketch Club, and Franklin Inn Club—which helped shape the city's artistic and intellectual legacy. Adding to its remarkable history, the property's basement is believed to have been part of the Underground Railroad, tying it to one of the most meaningful movements in American history. With flexible multi-story layouts, original architectural details, and a premier walkable location, this property is ideal for a boutique firm, restaurant, gallery, or co-working/shared office concept. Its artistic past and modern potential create endless possibilities for investors and owner-users seeking a space that blends heritage with opportunity. Camac Street's quiet, European ambiance offers an oasis in the heart of Center City—just moments from City Hall, Broad Street, and Jefferson Hospital. This is more than real estate; it's a chance to own a piece of Philadelphia's cultural soul and continue the legacy of creativity, collaboration, and courage that has defined this street for more than a century.
