Summary

edit
Description The Captain James Abercrombie House at 268-70 S. 2nd Street between Locust and Spruce Streets in the Society Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia was built in 1759 in the Georgian style for a Scottish sea-captain who settled in Philadelphia. It was used as a warehouse in the 20th century, before spending many years as the Perelman Antique Toy Museum. It is currently used as a residence once again. (Sources: Philadelphia Architecture: A Guide to the City (2nd ed.) and Architecture in Philadelphia: A Guide) The Abercroombie House is next door to the Neave House.
