Situated in Independence Mall and adjacent to the Liberty Bell Center, the President’s House calls attention to the complex juxtaposition of slavery and freedom. Visitors are told the story of the President’s House and its inhabitants through a series of outdoor video screens.
A brick border marks the footprint of the original building and the entrance portal, fireplace, chairs, and kitchen. The project also exhibits archaeological fragments of the house that were unexpectedly discovered during the excavation of the site.
The design-build team was led by Kelly/Maiello Architects and Planners. Initial core historic research and exhibit framework were developed by American History Workshop.
