Add PhotosOn June 12, 1796, twenty of Philadelphia's intellectual leaders formed the First Unitarian Society of Philadelphia, becoming the first continuously functioning church in the country to call itself "Unitarian." The small but growing congregation built an octagonal-shaped church at 10th and Locust Streets in 1813. A second building, dedicated in 1828, was constructed on the same site. It remained the congregation's worship space until it moved to its present site at 2125 Chestnut Street in 1885.
Burials in the churchyard were removed at that time to West Laurel Hill Cemetery.
