PCIO migrated to yet another site in 1908 in search of more adequate facilities for
the growing classes that were to begin a mandatory four-year, eight-month curriculum.
The College rented an Italianate brownstone building in a residential neighborhood.
The area was positioned north of the Market Street railroad viaduct and was steeped
in Gilded Age grandeur.
The high-rise structure at 1715 North Broad Street comprised two large lecture halls, three classrooms and a gynecological operating room. It had a separate division for the anatomical and other laboratories as well as a gymnasium.
