Graciously endowed by alumnus Paul Kelly, the Writers House serves as a place where all Penn writers can come for courses, readings, informal meetings, and writing advice. The Writers House hosts dozens of programs each year, including readings, conversations, and meals with such notable names on the American literary scene as Susan Sontag and John Ashbery.

Built in 1851 by architect Samuel Sloan as part of a Victorian real estate development called "Hamilton Village".

A fine example of a Gothic Cottage.
