History
The Stephen Girard Building opened in 1896 at 12th and Ludlow Streets in Center City Philadelphia. James Hamilton Windrim designed the 13-story Beaux-Arts high-rise as headquarters for the Directors of City Trusts, the city agency that managed banker and philanthropist Stephen Girard's charitable estate. Contemporary accounts said every office rented on opening day.
After decades as an underperforming office building, National Real Estate Advisors converted it under National Park Service historic-tax-credit rules. BLT Architects restored the cornice and caryatids; AvroKo designed interiors that reuse original plasterwork, rosettes, and columns. Canopy by Hilton Philadelphia Center City, 236 rooms, opened on August 3, 2020, as the brand's first Pennsylvania hotel. Davidson Hotels & Resorts operates it.
