Thomas Eakins House, Artist residence in Spring Garden, Philadelphia, US
The four-story brick townhouse features a dedicated top floor studio space and rectangular windows with marble sills and lintels.
Benjamin Eakins constructed the house in 1854 and added the fourth-floor studio in 1874 for his son Thomas, who inherited it in 1899.
Thomas Eakins created numerous paintings in this house, including studies for The Gross Clinic and The Agnew Clinic between 1876 and 1916.
The Lincoln Financial Mural Arts Center now operates from 1729 Mount Vernon Street, Philadelphia, creating community art projects.
The house contains the original studio where Eakins developed his techniques combining photography and painting to study human anatomy.
