Summary

Description The N.W. Ayer & Son Building at 210 West Washington Square between St. James and Locus Street in the Washington Square West neighborhood of Philadelphia, across from Washington Square, was built in 1928 as the headquarters for Philadelphia's largest advertising company, founded in 1869. The building was designed by Ralph Bencker in the Art Deco style. The top of the building features giant sculptures of robed people, and the entrance has ornate bronze doors. Ayers moved to New York City in 1973, and the building is now a luxury condomonium, "The Ayer". (Source: "Washington Square" on USHistory.org)
