Save the Roundhouse

Save the Roundhouse Engaging the public in support of the preservation and reuse of the iconic Philadelphia Police Admin

The Roundhouse was built in 1962 at 750 Race Street by the noted Philadelphia architectural firm Geddes, Brecher, Qualls, and Cunningham (GBQC). GBQC designed many civic institutions in Philadelphia as well as internationally and were awarded the American Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal Award for Best Philadelphia Architecture in 1963 for their design of the Roundhouse. The building is constructed of structural pre-cast panels manufactured using the innovative Schokbeton process, giving the curvilinear skin optimum strength and durability. Despite what has been disseminated in the press, the building is in very good condition, and is an optimal candidate for adaptive reuse.
