Fodor's Expert Review Laurel Hill Mansion
Parkway Museum District and Fairmount Park
Historic Home
Built around 1767, this Georgian house on a laurel-covered hill overlooking the Schuylkill River once belonged to Dr. Philip Syng Physick (also owner of Society Hill's Physick House). The house furnishings are from a variety of periods. On some Sunday evenings in summer, Women for Greater Philadelphia sponsors candlelight chamber music concerts here; there are other events, too. Call before visiting.
