The Powel House is a historic house museum located at 244 South 3rd Street, between Willings Alley and Spruce Street, in the Society Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built in 1765 in the Georgian style,^[1] and embellished by second owner Samuel Powel (1738–1793), it has been called "the finest Georgian row house in the city."^[2] As with other houses of this type, the exterior facade is understated and simple, but the interior was elaborately appointed.^[1]
