The New Market & Head House Conservancy was created to restore and preserve the historic Head House and Shambles in Philadelphia. These landmarks, including the iconic Isaiah Lukens clock and the Head House cupola, are in urgent need of repair after years of deterioration. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, the Head House has served as a market, firehouse, office, and gathering space for centuries. The Conservancy aims to revitalize this historic space, bringing energy and activity back to the area. With restoration costs estimated at $1.5 million, your tax-deductible donations can help ensure the future of this important piece of history.
The Restoration and Beautification of the Head House and Shambles
The first phase of the restoration of the Head House and Shambles is complete. The $1.65 million provided by the City of Philadelphia enabled the Conservancy to complete all the essential renovation work to the Head House and Shambles. But there is more we can do to make this historic landmark the vibrant centerpiece for our historic neighborhood.
Your donations can support enhanced façade lighting, seasonable plant changes and the maintenance of planters, as well as safer, more accessible walking surfaces.
The Conservancy will allocate up to 15% of all contributions to support essential operating and administrative costs.
