The 1616 Walnut Street Building or 1616 Building is a historic high-rise building in the Center City area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The 24-story building stands 94 meters tall.
In 1930, the architects received an award for the building's design at the 12th International Buildings Congress in Budapest.
Its five-story parking garage on the Chancellor Street side, part of the original construction, was considered a novelty in 1929.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places on January 7, 1982.[2]
In 2013, 1616 Walnut Street was renamed "Icon" as it underwent an extensive renovation, transforming it from commercial space to a luxury Class-A multifamily community expected to open in 2014.[3]
