The Philadelphia Family Court Building, also known as Juvenile and Domestic Branches of the Municipal Court, is a historic building in Center City Philadelphia and registered under National Park Service's, National Register of Historic Places.
The building was constructed between 1938 and 1941 and was occupied on November 25, 1940 by the Juvenile and Domestic Branches of the Municipal Court, later known as the Philadelphia Family Court. In 2014, the Philadelphia Family Court moved to a new location on Arch Street. As of 2017, the building remains unoccupied. In 2020, the City of Philadelphia rescinded a contract with The Peebles Corporation to renovate the building after years of delay.
On August 11, 2022, the City of Philadelphia announced that it would redevelop the Family Court Building to house the African American Museum in Philadelphia.[2]
