About

Built in 1786, this square, four-story brick house is the only free-standing Federal townhouse remaining in Society Hill. This stunning mansion was once the home of Dr. Philip Physick, graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and considered to be the 'father of American surgery'. With its huge doorway fan light (the largest in any Pennsylvania residence in 1786), its grand proportions and straight, classical lines, Hill-Physick House is an exceptional example of the Federal style. It is decorated with outstanding examples of French-influenced Neoclassic furnishings, popular during Dr. Physick's time in the house. The whimsical and unusually large city garden also contains plants popular in the 19th century.
