The Packard Motor Car Company Building, also known as the Press Building, is a historic office building located at 317-32 N. Broad Street between Pearl and Wood Streets in the Callowhill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was built in 1910-11 and was designed by Albert Kahn of the noted Detroit architectural firm of Kahn & Wilby. It is a seven-story, steel framed, reinforced concrete building - one of the first uses of that material in a commercial building. Clad in terra cotta and featuring an ornamented canopy and a prominent overhanging roof, the building housed a showroom and new car inventory space for the Packard Motor Car Company. The showroom was remodeled in 1927 by Philip Tyre. In November 1928, the building became the headquarters of the Philadelphia Record newspaper, which it remained until the Record folded in a 1947 strike.The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is a contributing property to the Callowhill Industrial Historic District. The building was renovated into condominiums in 1986 by Bower Lewis Thrower and John Milner Associates.
