History

Established in 2010.

Originally the home of H.W. Butterworth and Sons Company, 2424 East York Street is a historic factory building in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was built in five phases between 1870 and 1925. The H.W. Butterworth ans Sons Company manufactured textile machinery, and also built anti-​aircraft machine gun parts during World War II.

Today, the building boasts over 11,000 square feet of event space spread over two unique venues in the heart of historic Philadelphia. The Skybox Event Center still retains two many of its original 19^th century details, including cast iron columns, 32-​foot ceilings, hardwood & polished concrete floors and exposed brick corridors. Loft-​style windows provide plenty of natural light and views of downtown Philadelphia and the Fishtown neighborhood.
