Sedgeley, Historic lodge in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, United States.
The Sedgeley Porter Lodge stands near Girard Avenue, featuring architectural elements from the mid-nineteenth century with classic design principles of that period.
After its construction in 1857, the building operated as a guard house until 1973, monitoring visitor access to the expanding Fairmount Park grounds.
The Porter Lodge represents the nineteenth century urban planning movement, when cities established large public parks for the benefit of their residents.
The structure remains accessible via Sedgley Drive, providing visitors an example of preserved nineteenth-century architecture within Philadelphia's largest municipal park.
The lodge exists on land that previously held Sedgeley Mansion, the first Gothic Revival residence in America, designed by architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe.
