The Thomas Massey House is a brick colonial house, located on Lawrence Road near West Chester Pike in Broomall, Pennsylvania. It was created by Thomas Massey, a Quaker, in 1708, on land he had purchased in 1696. The house was remodeled in the 1730s by Mordecai Massey, Thomas' son. It was donated to Marple Township in 1964 to avoid destruction.
The house is furnished with 17th and 18th century furniture and is open to the public for tours between 1 and 4 Sunday afternoon beginning with the last weekend in April and ending the last weekend in October.
