Frederick A. Poth Houses is a set of four historic homes located in the Powelton Village neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were built in 1890, and consist of three double houses and a half double. The buildings are built of brick, with limestone trim and mansard roofs in the German Gothic-style. They feature elaborately decorated dormers, balcony-like projections, and spidery porches.[2]
