The Old Quaker Building

About The Old Quaker Building

The Old Quaker Building is located in the University City section of Philadelphia, convenient to studies, work and recreational activities. Both Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania are within a short distance, as are the many shops, services, restaurants, theaters, museums and other cultural institutions that support the growing campuses. Two of the city's finest medical facilities, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital, are also close by. Public transportation stops practically outside the door. Major roads, highways and the rail transportation hub of 30th Street Station are just as convenient. While many new and exciting developments are taking shape in University City, The Old Quaker Building offers an artful blend of the past to the present. This unique complex of two historic structures dates back to the mid-19th century. One building was home to a Quaker mission before becoming the office of the philanthropic organization.
