Contents

The house was listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1968 and is within the Old City Historic District, a district on the National Register of Historic Places. [2] [3] [4] [5] It is part of Independence National Historical Park and is 3 blocks east of Independence Hall. [6] The main entrance faces south towards Welcome Park, the former location of William Penn's Slate Roof House.

History

The history of the Bond house reflects the economic history of this part of Philadelphia. The central core of the Bond house was built in 1769 by Dr. Thomas Bond Sr., a prominent physician and founder of Pennsylvania Hospital, which was chartered in 1751. [7] [8] In 1824, a four-foot extension with a new facade was added to the west side, and in the 1830s to 1840s, the building was extended eastward at the rear.

In 1988, the property was leased to a private business by Independence Historical National Park in order to facilitate restoration of the building. As a result, it was converted into a bed and breakfast. [9]

The second Delerme-Anduze House, also known as the Rosendo Delerme House at 355 Antonio Mellado Street, is a historic 19th-century Spanish Creole-style house located in Isabel Segunda, the largest and main administrative and historic settlement of the island-municipality of Vieques, Puerto Rico. Local historical accounts such as "The Immigrations to Vieques, 1823-1898", describe the residence as the second house in Vieques to be owned by Augusto Neré Delerme, a wealthy French immigrant from Guadeloupe who built it in 1876 as a wedding gift for his wife Cecilia Anduze, a native of Saint Thomas. The house was lived by their son Julio Delerme-Anduze and afterwards by his descendants. The residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural and historical significance as it represents a prime example of Spanish vernacular architecture with elements of the French Creole architecture from the West Indies that was popular in Vieques at the time.
