Possibilities of Historic Architecture

Old buildings are an integral part of America’s cities. They tell us about the history of place, where we came from, and what happened before we were here. Historic buildings deserve to be saved and used to their full potential. The goal of this project is to create a functional hotel and dining experience that honors the history of the Eighth National Bank Building, uses contemporary design, and creates a spot where people in Fishtown and Center City want to visit.
