A stunning neo-classical building, the Insurance Company of North America (INA) Building was for many years the home of the Insurance Company of North America, the nation's first and oldest joint-stock insurance company. 

The INA Building, designed by renowned architect George Howe and completed in 1928, is considered a significant example of early 20th-century American architecture. It is an excellent representation of the Art Deco style, which was popular during that era. The building's design, materials, and details make it an architectural gem.

The INA Building has a rich history. It served as the headquarters for the Insurance Company of North America, one of the oldest insurance companies in the United States. INA played a pivotal role in the development of the American insurance industry, and its corporate history is intertwined with the growth of Philadelphia as a major financial center.
