First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia

First unitarian church exterior

Frank Furness' First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia at 2125 Chestnut St. was founded in 1769. The Parish House was finished in 1884; the cornerstone for the church was laid in 1885 and it was dedicated in 1886.

The final stop on this tour is just around the corner to the northwest, at 19 S 22nd St. You can use the map above as a guide. On the map it displays as "College of Physicians of Philadelphia," but everyone knows it better as the Mutter Museum.
