Green Hill Presbyterian Church, 1617 Girard Ave Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA
Though much altered, Green Hill Presbyterian Church was designed by well-known Philadelphia architect John Notman. Originally situated in a rural environment, it belonged to a group of early institutional buildings in the Penn District north of Girard Avenue and west of Broad Street. Green Hill Presbyterian Church was Notman`s first completed design for an entire religious structure in Philadelphia. The church was founded as a "New School" dissenter congregation of the Presbyterian Church and organized by Reverend Thomas Brainerd, the noted New School pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church on Pine Street.
