John C. Bell House, Colonial Revival residence in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, United States.
The John C. Bell House at 229 South 22nd Street features architectural elements of Colonial Revival and Neo-Georgian design across its 0.1-acre property.
Built in 1906 by architect Horace Trumbauer, the house became home to Pennsylvania Attorney General John C. Bell and later his son, Governor John C. Bell Jr.
The residence represents the early 20th century architectural preferences of Philadelphia's political figures and their influence on residential design patterns.
The National Register of Historic Places designation, awarded in 1982, provides opportunities for preservation grants and architectural research access.
NFL Commissioner Bert Bell, who transformed professional football through innovative policies, lived in this Philadelphia residence before its 1944 conversion to apartments.
