A neighborhood of firsts

Old brick, modern comforts

Exposed brick and hand-hewn beams, cobblestone lanes and a fanlight at every door, restored with modern kitchens and climate control. Each is an entire house, sleeping eight to ten, a short walk from where the nation was made.

The collection

Three houses

Two for families, one for friends, and two that sit side by side for bigger groups.

Please note: these are historic homes with steep, narrow stairs and no elevator. See each house for details.

Hancock + Catherine

Bigger group? Take the pair.

Hancock House and Catherine House are next door to each other in Queen Village. Together they sleep up to 18, depending on availability.

Field note · Philadelphia, 1682

William Penn laid the city out as a grid of streets between two rivers. The blocks you walk from your door still follow that plan.
