Portico Row is a set of 16 historic rowhouses located in the Washington Square West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The brick houses were built between 1831 and 1832, and designed by noted Philadelphia architect Thomas Ustick Walter (1804-1887). They have the typical Philadelphia rowhouse plan with front building, piazza, and back building and are in the Greek Revival style. Each of the eight mirror-image pairs shared a common entrance portico supported by Ionic order columns.
