Henry George Birthplace

The Henry George Birthplace is a historic house located in the Washington Square West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built in 1801, this three-story brick rowhouse showcases late Federal architectural style and features a typical Philadelphia rowhouse layout with a 'front building,' 'back building,' and a 'piazza.' It is notable as the birthplace of influential journalist and economist Henry George, who lived there until 1849. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in American history and architecture.
