This pumpkin-decorated, Federal-style house has a long and illustrious history. It was the home of Dr. Thomas Bond, a co-founder of the Pennsylvania Hospital with Benjamin Franklin. The house was then mostly all rebuilt ca. 1811 by newspaper publisher William Greer.
The house was again remodeled ca. 1841 in the late Federal style by Lewis Herford, a representative to the PA legislature. This Orange Street neighborhood is filled with historic homes. They all have lots of personality.
