LUXURY RIVERFRONT APARTMENT RESIDENCES
The Briggs House is a boutique apartment building with luxury rental apartments and private parking.
This prestigious property belongs to the collection of Front Street townhouses known as Governors’ Row. It was built in 1863 by attorney John H. Briggs, a prominent civic leader of his generation and a direct descendant of John Harris, Jr., the founder of Harrisburg.
Briggs’ great house has withstood the test of time. The conversion to luxury apartments, completed in 2015, set a new standard for luxury and style for today’s sophisticated urban dweller.
