Filming locations in Philadelphia included townhouses in Center City that served as the Winthorpe home exterior, and the Philadelphia Mint (now the Community College of Philadelphia) which served as the police station’s exterior.
The exterior and lobby of the Wells Fargo Building serve as the respective exterior and lobby of Duke & Duke.
The nearby Curtis Institute of Music, shown as the exterior of the Heritage Club, is seen adjacent to Rittenhouse Park in the film’s opening. The interior was filmed at the then-abandoned New York Chamber of Commerce Building. Independence Hall is also featured. During filming in Philadelphia, Murphy was so popular that a police officer had to be stationed outside of his trailer to control the crowds. Via Wikipedia
