History

Cambridge building

Built in the Jacobean Revival style, Alden Park Manor was founded and built in 1926. The complex has three sets of towers - the Manor, Kenilworth, and Cambridge buildings. Designed by Edwin Rorke and developed by Lawrence Jones, it was built in a park-like setting on thirty-eight acres that had been the Justus C. Strawbridge estate. It was the first co-operative apartment complex in Philadelphia, although it now operates only as rentals.[2][citation needed]

The complex overlooks the Wissahickon Valley section of Fairmount Park in the city's Germantown section. The buildings are surrounded by lawns and gardens, a rarity in the fairly urban setting. The complex features a unique indoor swimming pool which is lined with Mercer tiles and has a retractable roof. Alden Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1981.[citation needed] In the fall of 2015, a private firm bought the property for $59 million and began restorations.[3]
