Georgian Townhouse

Georgian Townhouse 1787 Reynolds-Morris Philadelphia
Title located on all four front sides of the base.

The Reynolds-Morris House is a Georgian Townhouse that was built in 1787 on South 8th Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The house was built by John Reynolds and his brother who were both brick makers. After losing the house in a Sheriff's sale, the house had several owners until the Morris family bought it. The house stayed in the Morris family for seven generations. Today, the house has become the Reynolds-Morris Hotel with all the original colonial style feel within it. There is also a restaurant called the M Restaurant within the hotel and garden area. The building has been preserved as colonial style home with little renovations, and was designated a National Historic Landmark and placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1967.
