The New Market & Head House Conservancy was created by neighbors and local businesses to restore, preserve, and animate the historic Head House and Shambles in Philadelphia.

Historic Significance: Head House Square, dating back to 1745, is home to the nation’s oldest surviving firehouse, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
Cultural Legacy: The area has been part of our city’s rich story since the start, with visitors as notable as George Washington. It continues to thrive with the Sunday Farmers’ Market, public programming, and special events.
Restoration: Work completed in 2026 includes repointing brickwork, window and roof repairs, restoration of the cupola woodwork, interior office space renovations, installation of a ground floor bathroom for special events, and restoration of the historic clock and the bell, which now chimes on the hour from 8 am to 8 pm. Additional work also included the illumination of the Pine Street façade of the headhouse and the installation of new historic information signs.
Community Revitalization: The project not only aims to make physical improvements, but also to create a vibrant community hub for commerce and social gatherings through more programming of the site.
Engagement & Preservation: Through education, community involvement, and historic preservation, the Conservancy seeks to protect the legacy of Head House Square and New Market for future generations.
