Letitia Street House, Early Georgian townhouse in West Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, United States.
The Letitia Street House features red brick walls, traditional colonial architecture, and large windows arranged in a symmetrical pattern across its two-story facade.
Built in 1713 by merchant Thomas Chalkley, the house was moved from its original location in Old City to West Fairmount Park in 1883 to prevent its demolition.
The building served as a museum displaying Queen Anne furniture until 1965, reflecting the architectural and decorative traditions of colonial Philadelphia.
Located at 3401 West Girard Avenue, the house now functions as office space for the Centennial Parkside Community Development Corporation.
The structure was long mistakenly believed to be William Penn's residence, leading to its preservation and relocation during Philadelphia's early historic conservation efforts.
