ABOUT POWEL HOUSE

For your next event, we invite you to the Powel House, a setting guaranteed to make your occasion one of lasting memories. Built over two centuries ago as a place for refined entertainment, the Powel House continues to lend itself to elegant occasions that are both beautiful and comfortable, in a location central to Philadelphia's historical district. Although two centuries old, the Powel House remains a place of memorable entertainment. Rental spaces are within museum areas. Business dinners, weddings, ceremonies, convention meetings, and office parties are enriched by the building's history and beauty. An outstanding example of Georgian architecture, the first floor's dining room and parlor adjoin the passage, featuring one of the most elegant colonial mahogany staircases. The second floor highlights the rococo ballroom, where George and Martha Washington celebrated their anniversary in 1779. Also, in the adjacent withdrawing parlor, is yet another elegant setting for cocktails, conversations, and dining.
