Built in 1769, the Thomas Bond House is a surviving example of the Georgian homes that lined Philadelphia’s streets during the Revolutionary era. The house was built by prominent physician Thomas Bond Sr., a co-founder of Pennsylvania Hospital with Benjamin Franklin, as a residence for his son. Located just a few blocks from Independence Hall, the house offers a tangible glimpse of the cityscape familiar to Revolutionary-era Philadelphians.
