Dolley Todd House

Located at on the northeast corner of 4th and Walnut Streets, the Todd House was built in 1775. It was occupied from 1791 -1793 by lawyer John Todd, and his wife Dolley Payne. Todd died during the 1793 yellow fever epidemic. Following her husband's death, Dolley married James Madison, later to become the fourth President of the United States. Dolley went on to serve as a de facto first lady for the widowed Thomas Jefferson in 1801, and as first lady during Madison's two terms... The Todd House reflects the lifestyle of 18th century Philadelphia's middle class.

Style : 18th century Georgian Built: 1775 Architect : Carpenters' Company member
