Rittenhouse Square Real Estate

Rittenhouse Square, one of William Penn's original five city squares, was known as the Southwest Square until 1825 when it was renamed for the astronomer-clockmaker, David Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse Square has always had its share of cache. The first house facing the Square was erected in 1840. The first high-rise Rittenhouse Square condo building, "1830", was built in the 1920's. In 1913 the Square's entrances, central plaza with the stone railings, pool, and fountain were designed. To have lived near or on the Square was a mark of prestige.
