The Thomas Eakins House was a home of Thomas Eakins in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a National Historic Landmark.
The house was built about 1854 by the father of Thomas Eakins. It is a four-story townhouse with three stories built of brick and the fourth of wood. Thomas Eakins inherited the house in 1899. He lived there until his death in 1916.[2]
The Mural Arts Program, a Philadelphia-based art program that creates outdoor murals, is currently based in the Thomas Eakins house.
