2401–2425 Pine St.
c. 1835, Vernacular rowhouses

These two-and-one-half-story rowhouses are among the oldest surviving structures in the district. Conforming to a type nearly as old as the city itself, they are brick with marble sills and steps. On the upper stories, single dormers project from the pitched roofs. Most have been updated in detail, but all retain the basic form of working-class housing, modest and without decorative flourishes. They are the remnants of the neighborhood of workers who settled near the Schuylkill to work at the wharves and other industrial sites only a short walk to the west.
