Henry O. Tanner House, National Historic Landmark residence in Strawberry Mansion, Philadelphia, United States.
The three-story brick rowhouse at 2908 West Diamond Street features an oriel window bay and decorative brackets beneath the cornice.
The property, purchased in 1872 by Benjamin Tucker Tanner, served as the childhood residence of African-American painter Henry Ossawa Tanner until 1888.
The residence became a central meeting point for African-American intellectuals in Philadelphia and the northeastern United States during the late 19th century.
The Friends of the Tanner House organization has secured over $250,000 in funding for roof repairs and preservation efforts at this historic site.
Dr. Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander, the first African-American woman to receive a PhD and graduate from University of Pennsylvania Law School, was born here.
