Hope Lodge, Georgian mansion in Fort Washington, US
The Hope Lodge features symmetrical architecture with detailed woodwork, large windows, and a grand entrance flanked by colonial-style columns at 553 South Bethlehem Pike.
Samuel Morris constructed this estate between 1743 and 1748, working with Edmund Woolley, the architect who designed Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
The mansion integrates Quaker architectural principles with Georgian design elements, reflecting the religious and social values of early Pennsylvania settlers.
The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission maintains the property, offering guided tours on Sundays from April through October at 1:00 and 2:30.
During the 1777 Philadelphia Campaign, the mansion served as quarters for Major General Nathanael Greene and as a hospital under surgeon general John Cochran.
