Blockley Hall
Blockley Hall
Built as housing for the nursing students of Philadelphia General Hospital, the building is differentiated from contemporary structures at Penn in the choice of color. The Beaux-Arts roots of the design reflect the training its architects received in Paul Cret’s Penn atelier before World War I. The building now houses office and work space for the Perelman School of Medicine.
