Notes
  • Significance: Though much altered, Green Hill Presbyterian Church was designed by well-known Philadelphia architect John Notman. Originally situated in a rural environment, it belonged to a group of early institutional buildings in the Penn District north of Girard Avenue and west of Broad Street. Green Hill Presbyterian Church was Notman's first completed design for an entire religious structure in Philadelphia. The church was founded as a "New School" dissenter congregation of the Presbyterian Church and organized by Reverend Thomas Brainerd, the noted New School pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church on Pine Street.
