The Presbytery’s history is rich both in relationship to its development during key periods of American history and in its historical location.  The Presbytery of Philadelphia is the oldest Presbytery in the United States and home to some of the oldest Presbyterian Churches in the nation.  Since 1946 the offices of the Presbytery of Philadelphia was a downtown historical building at the corner of 22nd and Locust. The Presbytery recently sold the long time office in order to purchase a new, accommodating building for the use of local churches and other community groups interested in a professional space to rent for meetings, conferences, and retreats.  The current building, located at Stenton and Gowen in the Mt. Airy neighborhood, houses a small chapel, a resource center for Presbyterian Churches in the Philadelphia area, and a large boardroom with floor to wall whiteboards, large tables, comfortable chairs, a room divider, and internet access.  The furniture in the conference rooms offers mobility depending on the needs of our building guests.
