The Thomas Bond House is located at 129 South Second Street[1] in Old City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Originally built in 1769, as the home of Dr. Thomas Bond, it has since been restored into a bed & breakfast. The house is listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places[2] and is the only lodging located within Independence National Historical Park[3]. The main entrance faces south towards Welcome Park, the former location of William Penn's Slate Roof House.
History
The history of the Bond house reflects the economic history of this part of Philadelphia. The central core of the Bond house was built in 1769 by Dr. Thomas Bond Sr., a prominent physician and founder of Pennsylvania Hospital, which was chartered in 1751.[4][5] In 1824, a four foot extension with a new facade was added to the west side, and in the 1830s to 1840s, the building was extended eastward at the rear.[6]
