Marian Anderson House
Marian Anderson House, Civil rights leader residence in Southwest Center City, Philadelphia, United States.
The brick two-story residence features Italianate architecture with symmetrical windows, decorative cornices, and detailed moldings throughout its exterior and interior spaces.
Purchased in 1924, this house served as the primary residence of contralto Marian Anderson during her rise to international recognition until 1943.
The house contains original furnishings, photographs, and musical artifacts that document the life of the first African American to perform at the Metropolitan Opera.
The Marian Anderson Museum and Historical Society offers guided tours of the residence at 762 South Martin Street by advance reservation.
In December 2022, the Daughters of the American Revolution provided 150,000 dollars to repair water damage and restore the building's structure.
