Flying Horse Center

FlyingHorse miscStitch

An award-winning building located at 5534 Pulaski Avenue in Philadelphia’s Germantown neighborhood, the Flying Horse Center is a 54,000 sq. ft. parking garage built in 1926 that has been converted into a premier, multi use building. This property has been recognized as a leading example of the adaptive re-use of industrial buildings in Philadelphia. It highlights the important role of design in making new and positive assets in urban neighborhoods, and combines an homage to the industrial past with a vision for a forward thinking, new industrial and urban renaissance. 
The Flying Horse Center is currently in the final renovation phase of a 7,000 square foot development of executive office space (www.FHC-Suites.com ). The Center also contains the Pegasus Room (www.pegasusroom.net), a 7,000 square foot banquet hall space. All renovations and or construction have been performed by his MBE and minority owned company, Smith Houston Inc. (www.smithhouston.com).  

Responsible Graffiti

Responsible Graffiti is a program started by Stan Smith as a way to solve multiple problems with a single task-engage the local street graffiti “artists” to purposefully paint up some of the blank walls on the Flying Horse Center, his large mixed use building in Germantown.  Responsible Graffiti’s mission is to ask the artist to be responsible with the tagging of the painting.  “We can all get along if you stay in your boundaries”, said Smith.

The first artists began working in 2010, and focused on those parts of the building that were the prime victims of tagging. Stan is now looking for additional artists to pick up where the original one left off. For more information on this project contact Stan’s office at 215-848-1133.
