Wyck House, Colonial mansion in Germantown, Philadelphia, US
The 2.5-acre property includes a house with stone walls, multiple outbuildings, and gardens representing architectural changes from 1690 through 1824.
William Strickland renovated the interior spaces in 1824, creating an open floor plan and installing new windows to maximize natural light throughout the structure.
Nine generations of the same Quaker family maintained ownership of the property from 1690 to 1973, preserving documents and artifacts spanning three centuries.
The property maintains an active urban farm and educational center, providing agricultural programs and locally grown produce to Philadelphia residents.
The rose garden at Wyck House contains more than 50 varieties and remains in its original layout, making it the oldest maintained rose garden in the United States.
