Divine Lorraine Hotel, 699 North Broad St Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA

The Divine Lorraine Hotel stands among the most visible buildings constructed during the decades that North Broad Street above Spring Garden Avenue challenged -to varying degrees of success -the old elite enclaves and institutions of Center City for designation as the most fashionable residential and civic district of Philadelphia. Constructed as an apartment house, the Lorraine stands among the earliest "full-blown""examples of this type in a city known for its tradition of single family houses. The structure reigns among the important extant works of architect Willis G. Hale whose eccentric and unique high Victorian designs made him the darling of the fashion-conscious arrivistes pouring into Northwest Philadelphia late in the nineteenth century and early in the twentieth century.
