Was this modest stone dwelling truly the first of its kind in Pennsylvania? Right here in Wynnefield stands Wynnestay, a testament to Philadelphia’s early beginnings. Built in 1690, Wynnestay was home to Dr. Thomas Wynne, personal physician to William Penn and a prominent figure in the founding of Philadelphia. Wynne, a Welsh Quaker, immigrated to the New World alongside Penn aboard the ship “Welcome”. Imagine the stories these walls could tell, whispers of those early days when Philadelphia was just a fledgling colony. Though simple in appearance compared to grander estates of later centuries, Wynnestay holds a significant place in Philadelphia’s history. It stands as a reminder of the city’s humble roots and the pioneering spirit of individuals like Thomas Wynne.
