William Penn's House is located in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although the house was never residence to William Penn himself, it serves as a preserved and restored historical landmark. It is also known as the Letitia House and was built along the Delaware riverside in the 18th century and then relocated to Philadelphia at the end of the 19th century. The house serves as a preserved example of an early Georgian city house. It was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1956.
