Georgian Grandeur, Garden Charm
Steps from Third Street’s brick sidewalks and tucked between some of Philadelphia’s oldest landmarks, the Powel House brings Georgian-era sophistication to modern-day celebrations. Built in 1765, this elegant townhouse once welcomed the likes of George Washington and Lafayette—making it one of the city’s most iconic addresses for entertaining. Today, its ornate interiors and walled garden offer a refined backdrop for ceremonies, dinners, and meaningful gatherings.
