1807 Townhouse

Historic Area

This attractive, spacious Society Hill home, built in 1807, was completely renovated by its present owners in 1967. Today, the open, modern plan of the interior may make you forget that this historic building has given shelter to Philadelphians for two centuries. 

In 1865 the front of the property was demolished and all of the floors were raised – making the ceilings on the first floor 13 feet high. The marble steps and double doors were built in 1865 creating a grand entrance. A state-of-the art kitchen is a recent addition.  Choose queen, king or twin beds each with private bath. All rooms have TV, private phone, central A/C, individually controlled heat. Public transportation is at the corner.

Your host is a retired stock market and futures trader. He is well versed in the history of the area. Your hostess, recently retired as Assistant Dean of a major medical school, is very active in the community. Both are supporters of a number of Philadelphia opera and theater companies and have conducted extensive research to discover the fascinating history of their home.

Everything was perfect.  You were especially helpful in making sure we were in a location close to our destinations.  It was great to walk everywhere"!  LB

GUEST COMMENTS:

"Where to begin?  Our stay here made our vacation in Philadelphia. The accommodations were comfortable and beautiful. The location is fabulous. However, it was the host's personal efforts that made the difference. When rain appeared, he loaned my friend and me an umbrella and a raincoat. When we got tired of walking, he was ready with information on mass transit.  I think there's isn't much about Philadelphia he doesn't know about. That insider information is priceless.Thanks for a great experience."   EC

"We had a wonderful stay at the B&B. The location was great. We were able to walk to most of the attractions and the parking area was conveniently located just up the street. The host was very helpful and hospitable. Gave lots of suggestions to various restaurants, stores ect. The room was cozy and it was nice having the top floor to ourselves. I would definately revisit the B&B when we return to Philly and recommend it to others who are traveling to Philadelphia. I hope everywhere I travel we're able to find B&B's like this one.  Who needs a hotel"? JK
