ABOUT RITTENHOUSE SQUARE
Philadelphia's premier destination for living, working, shopping
and dining
Rittenhouse Square is one of five city squares conceived by
Philadelphia's founder, William Penn, in the 1600s. Originally
called Southwest Square, the park was renamed in 1825 to honor
David Rittenhouse, a local astronomer-clockmaker and patriotic
leader during the Revolutionary era.
The first mansion facing Rittenhouse Square was built in 1840,
and by the second half of the 19th century, the Square had
become the city's most fashionable residential neighborhood.
Later, in 1913, the Square's entrances and central plaza were
redesigned by architect Paul Philippe Cret— incorporating a
reflecting pool, fountains, and timelessly beautiful sculptures.
By the 1920s, the Square's impressive family mansions gave way
to landmark high-rise buildings, and the neighborhood evolved
into what it is today— a thriving hub of homes and
apartments, upscale shops, galleries, restaurants, luxury
hotels, book stores, a public library, health and sporting
clubs, and an abundance of Euro-style sidewalk cafés that
give Rittenhouse Square its old world charm.
Explore Center City's numerous cultural and historic sites
amidst a green and leafy oasis. With blooming shrubs that add
splashes of seasonal color, a summer concert series, annual
flower markets and outdoor art exhibits, RIttenhouse Square
embodies William Penn's dream of a "Green Country Towne."
