2700 North Board Street, built in Philadelphia in 1910 as a Ford assembly plant, became the home of the Botany 500 clothing factory in 1926. This reinforced flat slab concrete frame structure is clad with finished masonry and terra cotta. After years of neglect, The City of Philadelphia issued a court order for the immediate stabilization of the facades which fronted on busy North Broad Street and the SEPTA commuter railroad. Our firm developed a program of remedial repairs of the existing facades, parapet and roof to accommodate 1,000 new custom aluminum windows for a complete overhaul of the building envelope. To date, our preliminary adaptive reuse design of this once-prominent factory building includes new commercial, office, residential spaces and integrated parking.
