Horace Jayne House, Colonial Revival residence in Philadelphia, United States.
The Horace Jayne House features a red English sandstone facade with brick details and terra cotta reliefs created by sculptor Karl Bitter.
Built in 1895 by Furness & Evans architectural firm, this residence served as home and office for Dr. Horace Jayne, a University of Pennsylvania zoology professor.
The building transformed from a private residence to a synagogue between 1946 and 1953, later becoming headquarters for the Heart Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Located at the intersection of 19th and Delancey Streets in Philadelphia, the house returned to residential use following a complete restoration in 2009.
The central hall contains a grand staircase wrapping around a fireplace, complemented by a suspended gallery and detailed leaded glass skylight.
