Dolley Todd House, House museum in Society Hill, Philadelphia, United States.
The Dolley Todd House at 341 Walnut Street features Georgian architecture with symmetrical facades and maintains original 18th-century structural elements throughout the building.
Built in 1775 by carpenter John Dilworth, this residence housed future First Lady Dolley Madison and her first husband John Todd from 1791 until his death in 1793.
The rooms contain period furniture and decorative elements that represent the domestic lifestyle of upper-middle-class Philadelphia residents during the late 18th century.
The house requires timed entry tickets distributed at the Independence National Historical Park visitor center, with limited accessibility due to narrow staircases.
During the yellow fever epidemic of 1793, the house became witness to personal tragedy when Dolley Todd lost both her husband and younger son to the disease.
