Accessibility

​

Due to temporary construction, the barrier-free entrance along 13th street must be accessed from the south side. Patrons needing to use it should approach HSP on the west side of 13th, heading north from Spruce Street. They may unload from a vehicle along Irving Street, which is one-way eastbound and intersects 13th Street just south of the barrier free door. The GPS address is 236 S. 13th Street.

 

We can best accommodate you if you call ahead at 215-732-6200.

 

If you need to bring an assistant with you for any kind of physical impairment during your visit, we will not charge your accompanying aide admission.  Upon advanced request, Visitor Services can also provide you with a research aide here.
