Bathey House

On a forgotten piece of Fairmount Park sits a quirky, little brick building called the "Bathey".

Hermitage

Evan Prowattain built his house in 1848 on historic ground occupied by the Rosicrucians, a religious sect comprised of "hermits" or Pietists, who emigrated from Germany in the 1600s. Nestled on a gentle hillside in the Wissahickon section of Fairmount Park, historic Hermitage Mansion features lovely views of the valley below. Easy access to Philadelphia via Henry Avenue and nearby Kelly Drive makes this location perfect for a satellite office, meeting space or retreat center.

The multi story structure features a wrap around porch, spacious rooms on three floors and a full daylight basement. Recent improvements to the building include a new heating system and plumbing upgrades. A magnificent marble fireplace graces the ballroom on the first floor, a perfect setting for corporate meetings or retreats. If you are searching for a tranquil and pastoral setting close to Philadelphia's Center City contact the Trust today to view this fantastic opportunity.
