Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood under a canopy of towering trees sits Girard Estate, an enclave established by the deed of Stephen Girard, a French merchant who landed in Philadelphia during the Revolutionary War. Architect James H. Windrim, along with son John, built these unique semi-detached homes from 1906-16 in many styles, including bungalow, prairie, mission, Jacobean revival and Colonial revival.
