Physick House

Medical pioneer Dr. Philip Syng Physick

321 South 4th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106
+1 215 925 7866

This 1786 colonial era townhouse, built by Henry Hill, was once the dwelling of American medical pioneer Dr. Philip Syng Physick. The 'Father of American Surgery' lived here from 1815-1837. A collection of 18th and early 19th-Century furniture, silver and porcelain grants visitors insight into how members of the Philadelphia elite lived through a turbulent time in U.S. History. Guided tours are available on the hour during operating hours.
