Some images appear distorted. This is due to the wide-angle lens i had to use to shoot some of the photos (this is also why there are black corners in a few photos).

It makes the most sense to have the entrance to your project off of Rittenhouse Square, not off of Manning Street, due to context of Manning Street Buildings. Rittenhouse Square features row homes that do have entrances, and none that are the back.

Existing Row Homes on Parcel Block
These 4 row homes do not have parapet walls. Please note that one home has a double-dormer window on its Rittenhouse Facade. One dormer faces Rittenhouse Square, the other faces Manning Street, but is hard to see, or photograph. Please also note that one row home has a chimney, at an elevation of 35'. Finally, the row home closest to the skyscraper on our parcel area, is 1.5' shorter than the other row homes.

Existing Skyscraper Apartments
South 17th Street
This skyscraper stands at exactly 475' in height. There was a construction team currently working on the building. One of the workers was holding a rope that spanned exactly from the edge of the roof line, to the sidewalk. We asked the construction worker if he knew how tall the building was, and this is the measurement he gave us. This skyscraper has 28 floors, 26 of them are the same height. The building was constructed of some sort of masonry unit that spanned to the roof, and we used those units as a measuring guide. Each masonry unit is 21 3/8" in width. Floor one consisted of 7 masonry units. Floor two consisted of 4 masonry units, and floors 3 - 28 consist of 5 masonry units. This roof does have a parapet wall on all 4 sides.
