    What's special

    Cathedral ceilingsFan-shaped windowsWood burning fireplacesPost-modern architectureDoric columns
    Built as a 19th Century merchant building, Wistar Alley is a unique blend of old and new, featuring one and two bedroom bi-level apartments. Doric columns and fan-shaped windows distinguish the facade of this impressive building. Cathedral ceilings and post-modern architecture create a dramatic flavor in all of the one-bedroom apartments, and most 4th Floor apartments feature wood burning fireplaces and skylights, wonderful features which are hard to find in most Old City Apartments!
