Center City Apartments for the Working Poor

Restoring a building to its first mission
Project HOME expands its role and takes on converting the 11 story Italian renaissance tower into apartments for the working poor.

This summer it began to convert the tower into modestly priced studio apartments for what demographers call the working poor - the people who keep the shops, restaurants and hotels humming. The renovation, which is being overseen by Kramer/Marks Architects of Fort Washington, will restore many of the Warburton Hotel's charming historic details, including its triple-arched entry and leaded-glass windows.
