Belfield, National Historic Landmark mansion in Philadelphia, United States.
The Belfield Estate features a stone mansion with period-specific architectural details and a two-story addition that served as a painting studio.
Charles Willson Peale, a prominent American painter, purchased the property in 1810 for $9,500 and made substantial modifications to accommodate his artistic pursuits.
The estate demonstrates the architectural preferences and living standards of Philadelphia's upper class during the early nineteenth century.
