The Drake Apartments – Viewed from South Broad Street at Pine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


The Drake Tower is a historic 375-foot-tall, 33-story former luxury hotel, renovated to create apartments and luxurious penthouses. Built in 1928-29, by the architectural firm of Ritter and Shay in the Art Deco style with Spanish Baroque terra cotta ornamentation on themes surrounding Sir Francis Drake, including "dolphins, shells, sailing vessels and globes." The building is topped by a terra cotta dome. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was once the tallest building in Philadelphia.
