The Powelton, also known as the Powelton Apartments, is a historic apartment complex located in the Powelton Village neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was built in two phases; in 1902 and 1910. The first section was designed by architect Willis G. Hale (1848-1907) as a set of ten houses massed as six units. It was converted to apartments by Milligan & Webber in 1910.[2][3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1][better source needed]
