    Washington West

    washington west philadelphia pa

    Washington Square West neighborhood is a lovely historic area of Philadelphia centered west of Washington Square, which was one of William Penn's original five city squares, laid out in 1682.

    During Philadelphia's years as a prominent publishing center, the Washington West neighborhood was Philadelphia's publishers' row. Close by the square are the former Lea & Febiger publishing building and the Curtis Center, former home of the Curtis Publishing Company. Several publishers are still located in the neighborhood today.

    Around the corner on Walnut Street is the famous Walnut Street Theatre, the oldest theater in the United States.Throughout its long history, the Walnut Street Theatre underwent many renovations and housed the performances of countless famous American actors, including Marlon Brando, Henry Fonda, and Katharine Hepburn.
