The Thomas Hockley House is a home designed by architect Frank Furness located in the Walnut–Chancellor Historic District in Philadelphia.[1] Thomas Hockley, who commissioned the house, was a childhood friend and early supporter of Furness.[1][2] The house is ostensibly Victorian in style, albeit with brick patterns and other features that are innovations by Furness.[1] The house influenced the design of others, including the Boltes Residence designed by William Le Baron Jenney a year after the Hockley house was completed.[3]
After Hockley's death in 1892, the house was converted to apartments.[4] An addition was added to the building, designed by Furness and his firm.
