| - Washington Square West (or Wash West) is a neighborhood in downtown, or "Center City", Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The neighborhood roughly corresponds to the area between 7th and Broad Streets and between Walnut and South Streets, bordering on the neighborhoods of Chinatown to the north, Society Hill, to the East, Bella Vista and Hawthorne, to the south, and the Avenue of the Arts, and Rittenhouse Square to the west. The neighborhood takes its name from Washington Square, the urban park on its eastern boundary. Washington Square West's physical make up consists of three to four story rowhouses interspersed with larger elevator apartments and offices with ground-floor retail. The neighborhood follows William Penn's original grid layout for the city, with many one-lane and pedestrian side streets added later as the population became more dense. In addition to the block sized Washington Square Park to the East, the neighborhood contains the smaller Kahn Park, named after the Philadelphia Architect Louis Kahn.
