The Powel House

Built in 1765, the Powel House was the home of Samuel Powel who served as the last Mayor of Philadelphia under the British Crown. Powel was also the first Mayor of Philadelphia after the creation of the United States. Powel and his wife frequently entertained notable guests such as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington.

Note: For those interested in the supernatural, the Old Pine Street Church and Cemetery is featured on the Spirits of '76 Ghost Tour where the story of Spectral Soldiers is told.
