Hill-Physick House

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hill-Physick House is a beautiful venue to host your special event. It brings Philadelphia's history to your gathering.

Hill-Physick House was built in 1786 and is only three blocks south of Independence Mall.

About Hill-Physick House

Its four-story brick house is the only free-standing Federal townhouse remaining in Society Hill. Physick House is an exceptional example of the Federal style.

For example, its huge doorway fan light (the largest in any Pennsylvania residence in 1786) plus grand proportions and straight, classical lines is decorated with outstanding examples of French-influenced Neoclassic furnishings. This was popular during Dr. Physick's time in the house. 

Event Spaces & Capacity

Hill-Physick House has indoor and outdoor event spaces. In addition, its vast city garden features plants popular in the 19th century and a winding path and grotto. Events in the garden can hold up to 100 guests.

Reviews

The Hill-Physick house was the ideal location for hosting our end-of-the-year party for my organization. The garden in the spring is so peaceful and well-maintained and it was perfect for our 70-person get together. All the staff were very responsive and helpful throughout the process.
