Historic Laurel Hill Mansion is nestled along the scenic Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has a prominent location on a high bluff overlooking the river. One of the most visible houses that ring the river, the view of the river from the back porch is not to be missed and should be included in any tour of Philadelphia. The original house built by Rebecca Rawle in

1764 consisted of a two-story Georgian brick structure with a symmetrically placed entry and a gallery of windows on the first and second floors. In the late 18th/early 19th century, a small single story wing was added to the south-side of the home. The unique two-story octagonal wing was added to the north side soon thereafter. The house is open to the public from mid-April to mid-December Thursday – Sunday from 10:00 a.m. It is recommended that you call in advance (215) 235-1776. There are also special events though out the year including a symposium during Women’s history month, a Spring Tea that raises funds for the maintenance of the house, a well-regarded Summer Series of Chamber Music Concerts that take place in the octagonal music room among others.
