Washington Square west condos are
located in one of Philadelphia’s most well known historic
districts – Washington Square. Before the Revolutionary War,
Washington Square was an open field, bordered by woods (on three sides)
and a prison (on its fourth). It later became a cemetery for those who
did not survive the yellow fever epidemic of 1793, as well as a burial
ground for Revolutionary War soldiers.
The neighborhood has since come a long way. By the middle of the 19th
century, the area began to enjoy brighter times, and quickly evolved
into the center of Philadelphia’s most prolific neighborhoods.
Washington Square West condos of today are part of what has also been
established as the primary publishing of Center City Philly.
The square is home to Curtis Publishing, which has produced such famous
publications as The Saturday Evening Post, The Ladies Home Journal, and
Jack and Jill.
Today, this part of the city has reverted back to a park, with ample
shade trees and benches, as well as the famous Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier. Another one of William Penn’s famous “five
squares,” Washington Square was named in 1825, to honor the great
general and first President of the United States, George Washington.
Today, Washington Square west condos are highly sought after by those
seeking life in one of the city’s well-polished squares, with
plenty of history to boot. Book an appointment online or call (866)
