This district is generally bounded by the Assunpink Creek and Front Street on the south, the intersection of Central Business Clinton and State Street on the east, the Battle Monument on the north, District and Warren and Willow Streets on the west. This district is fortunate in that a large number of its original buildings are intact. In some cases though, entire blocks have been demolished and redeveloped with large office complexes that are used primarily by state government. The South Warren Street Historic District is located in this district, adjacent to the Trenton Marriot Lafayette Yard hotel. Parking structures are distributed throughout this district and there is limited on-street parking.

This is a critical issue for the OWL Collective because employers are quickly embracing a 21st century workplace. Meanwhile, there are still individuals in North Philadelphia and across the city who have never used a desktop computer or rely solely on their mobile phone for internet access. As a result, individuals without access to technology are at an increasing disadvantage for finding and maintaining sustainable employment. On January 22nd, 2020, the OWL
