Fodor's Expert Review Mount Pleasant
Parkway Museum District and Fairmount Park
Historic Home
Built in 1761 by John Macpherson, a Scottish sea captain, Mount Pleasant is one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in the country. The level of craftsmanship in the rooms, including architectural carvings, is high, and the historically accurate furnishings are culled from the Philadelphia Museum of Art's noted collection of Philadelphia Chippendale furniture.
