The John Stewart Houses are a set of five rowhouses in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
[1] Stewart bought the lots in 1870, while he, according to the deed, took out a $61,000 loan for construction of the buildings.
Henry Phillippi, a carpenter who was apparently the contractor for the houses, received partial interest in several of them in the early 1870s.
After Stewart died, the completed houses were sold in a sheriff's sale in 1874.
