One of America's creepiest hotels is undergoing a $44 million transformation into apartments - here's what it looked like before
Matt Hurst
The hotel and its Victorian-style architecture have become a staple in the Philly skyline, as well as a place for urban explorers to venture into if they dare. Photographer Matt Hurst, who is well-versed in shooting abandoned spaces, documented the interior of the hotel for the first time in 2007, and then again in 2010, to see what was left of the historic landmark.
But now the hotel is in the middle of a $44 million transformation into apartments that are currently available for pre-leasing. They'll be ready for move-in sometime before the end of the year, according to Curbed Philadelphia.
Hurst shared some of his photos of the hotel with Business Insider, which we've combined with photos of its past.
