Description
Set in Philadelphia's Society Hill, the 1765 brick residence belonged to Elizabeth and Samuel Powel, the city's pre- and post-revolutionary mayor. The house features intricate plasterwork, period furnishings, and a historic garden. Today, Philadelphia Landmarks presents the home through docent-led tours that unpack 18th-century domestic life alongside the political salon culture of the Founding Fathers.
