    National Mechanics


    Comment on Facebook

    Built by famed architect William Strickland in 1837 the National Mechanics Building has seen banks, churches, clubs, bars and fires pass between its walls, and it's still standing. This beautiful building, as much a part of Philadelphia history as any tourist attraction, now houses the National Mechanics bar and restaurant. The gothic, yet warm old world feel combined with refreshing attitudes make National Mechanics similar to Old City itself; a fresh mix of old world form and new world function.
