2302 St. Albans Place (Philadelphia)
Philadelphie, United States
Row house in the South Philadelphia neighborhood known as "Devil's Pocket."
The scene : Cole Sear and his mother Lynn live in this small row house that opens onto a courtyard. The facade appears multiple times in the film, and Malcolm sits on the bench across the street to watch the child's exit.
Philadelphie, United States
The scene : The opening shot frames the building where Cole and his mother live from this intersection. It's also from here that the child emerges when he runs off.
2006 Delancey Place (Philadelphia)
Philadelphie, United States
Townhouse from the early 19th century. The same block of Delancey Place housed the residence of the character played by Dan Aykroyd in *Trading Places*.
The scene : Psychologist Malcolm Crowe is shot at his home by a former patient in the opening minutes of the film. Several establishing shots of the house, and a view taken from its windows, punctuate the narrative.
St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church (Philadelphia)
Philadelphie, United States
Catholic Church of Old City, just steps from the access to the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. The current building dates back to 1847: it replaced the church built in 1801, which was burned down during the anti-Catholic riots of 1844.
The scene : At the end of his run, Cole pushes open the red door of the church and seeks refuge inside. Malcolm joins him there for their first long conversation, filmed both inside and outside.

Philadelphie, United States
The scene : Cole runs far across the parking lot facing this number, during his escape to the church.
Philadelphie, United States
Corner address of Walnut Street and South 15th Street. The Striped Bass restaurant, which occupied it during the filming, has since closed; the Butcher and Singer steakhouse has succeeded it.
The scene : Malcolm joins Anna for their wedding anniversary dinner. He arrives late; his wife is seated alone and does not say a word to him.
Peirce College (Philadelphia)
Philadelphie, United States

Philadelphie, United States
The scene : Cole turns at this street corner on his way to school — an editing cut makes him jump several blocks from one shot to another. The framing exploits the vanishing facades leading to the skyscrapers of downtown.
