White on white on white

Have I mentioned that I love that the DC Apartment Therapy now has a Philadelphian on staff? Kristen gives me all sorts of stuff to drool about that isn’t located 200 miles to the north or south.

Photography by Trevor Dixon (for Philadelphia Magazine) and Todd Mason.

These are some photos of a lovely Philly loft done by Spring Garden’s own QB3, which is incidentally and not-intuitively pronounced “cube,” btw.

The pictures for this loft tour, which is a little sterile for my taste (it seriously looks like they got a cat to match their decor) but whose bookshelves I envy with a fire like the sun, can be traced from Apartment Therapy to Loft Life magazine to a slideshow at Philadelphia Magazine back to a slideshow on QB3’s website.

But what none of those places mention is which building this is. Help me out. I’m usually a pretty good googler, but I can’t turn up anything useful on this and I’m very curious.

Clues:

  • It’s in South Philadelphia
  • It used to be a window factory in the 1900s
  • One window faces the Delaware while the other faces the Schuylkill
  • The views out the windows in the pictures

Any ideas?
