Livezey House, Historic residence in West Mount Airy, Philadelphia, United States.
The stone house stands alongside Wissahickon Creek, featuring three adjoining gable-roof structures with single shed-roof dormers and a traditional colonial entrance.
Thomas Livezey purchased the property in 1747, establishing a mill operation that remained active until 1873 when Philadelphia acquired the estate.
The residence illustrates Philadelphia's early architectural development and the influence of Quaker settlers in shaping the region's residential landscape.
The property extends within Wissahickon Valley Park boundaries, accessible through designated trails and park entrances throughout the year.
An 1858 ambrotype photograph captures the historic dam that Thomas Livezey constructed across Wissahickon Creek, which remains visible today.
