Did you know that Christ Church was America’s tallest building for over five decades?
To this day the Christ Church steeple is an eye-catching landmark in Philadelphia’s Old City neighborhood. Now we offer you to explore an exterior view of Christ Church’s steeple and the surrounding neighborhood on a guided visit with one of our Educators. While on the roof of our Neighborhood House, you’ll hear about our colonial steeple from its construction to present day.
