A Short History of 2424 Studios
2424 Studios is 80,000+ square feet of office and commercial rental space in Fishtown, Philadelphia. In 2010, this former warehouse factory building was renovated into over 90 distinct units. 2424 Studios offers some of the most unique office and creative work space in the region.
The aesthetically distinct historic architecture has been adapted with all the modern amenities that your business needs. Each space features dramatically high ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood or concrete floors, large windows, and in-unit heating and cooling. Unit sizes range from 100 square feet to over 6,000 square feet to accommodate all sizes and types of businesses.
H.W. Butterworth & Sons, a foundry for finishing machinery for the textile industry established in 1820, moved to this location on York Street in 1870 from a smaller facility in the area. H.W. Butterworth & Sons was one of six textile machinery manufacturers in Philadelphia at the time, supplementing the dye works and yarn factories of the growing textile industry.
IIn 1970, Jacob Holtz Co. (pictured above), manufacturers of furniture casters and metal stamping, moved their factory to this location. Many residents of the area can recount family and friends who worked at the Jacob Holtz building. Train tracks, which are still visible in the street, carried boxcars from the Riverfront Railroad directly into the building through what is now the front entrance. By the 1990s, Jacob Holtz moved much of their distribution to North Carolina.
In the early 2000’s, 2424 E. York was largely vacant before being purchased in 2009 and renovated in 2010. In 2014, the building changed ownership and management. Much of the original architecture remains today. Two sets of hoists and cranes from Alfred E. Box & Co. are in place in an open atrium. The occupants, visitors and neighbors, are an ongoing part of the history of this significant Philadelphia landmark, which is now home to 2424 Studios.
According to the Industrial Directory of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in the early 1900s, “Textile products were not only Philadelphia’s leading industry, but the city was America’s foremost textile center.” However, during and after WWII, the facility expanded to manufacture mounts and parts for anti-aircraft machine guns. In 1950, H.W. Butterworth & Sons relocated to the suburbs and in 1955 was sold. According to the National Register of Historic Places, “From the time of its foundation until after its sale in 1955, the company was always managed by the Butterworth family, a record that has no equal in Philadelphia manufacturing.”
