Society Hill

Why go

Plan Society Hill around an unusually coherent residential setting beside the busier historic district. Its defining thread is Georgian and Federal houses, churchyards and shaded brick sidewalks. Washington Square gives the neighborhood a generous western edge. Walk in daylight for building details.

What to look for

• Washington Square gives the neighborhood a generous western edge.
• Small lanes and courtyards reward slow architectural observation.

Useful to know

• Walk in daylight for building details.
• Combine the area with one interior rather than rushing between many houses.
