A three-story, 16-unit apartment building is proposed at 862-72 North 41st Street in Belmont, West Philadelphia. Designed by Haverford Square Designs, the building will span 9,200 feet and feature a cellar and a roof deck. Permits list James Clancy as the contractor and a construction cost of $400,000.
The building will rise from an unusual, L-shaped footprint that faces Ogden Street to the south as a standard rowhouse-sized lot and extends through the block to the rear, where it extends via another rowhouse-sized lot to North Palm Street to the west, where it will replace a dilapidated, vacant two-story carriage house.
The building will replace part of a yard next to the Allen B. Rorke Mansion, a stately, brooding, vacant three-story edifice built in 1900 and clad in rusticated stone and sporting gabled dormers and a cone-topped corner turret. The mansion, which was approved for historical designation in 2017, is part of the same property as where the new building will rise, though the permits for the new building, which were issued last December, do not address the mansion.
A 2021 submission to the Historical Commission by Haverford Square Properties stated the company’s intent to renovate the property, demolish the carriage house, and build two new buildings, which, according to the latest permits, have since been merged into a single L-shaped structure.
