Edward Drinker Cope House, Historical residence in Center City Philadelphia, United States.
The Edward Drinker Cope House features two connected rowhouses with green stone facades, mansard roof, and polygonal bays at 2100-2102 Pine Street.
Constructed in 1880, the house served as both living quarters and workspace for Edward Drinker Cope, a distinguished paleontologist who discovered numerous vertebrate species.
The residence contained an extensive collection of scientific specimens, including bones, mounted animals, and preserved specimens that filled every available space.
Located southwest of Rittenhouse Square, this National Historic Landmark stands as a testament to 19th-century scientific research and architectural design.
The house's bathroom was converted into an impromptu specimen storage area during Cope's residency from 1880 to 1897.
