About

Lemon Hill is a Federal?style historic mansion in East Fairmount Park, built in 1799–1800 by merchant Henry Pratt, known for its stacked oval parlors and sweeping views over the Schuylkill River and Boathouse Row. As one of the Park Charms houses, it operates as a historic site and lawn venue for tours and occasional public programs near the Art Museum and Brewerytown. Event listings cite a standing capacity of 250 for outdoor gatherings, with smaller indoor rooms for intimate events.
