	After outgrowing several homes, including inside the American Philosophical Society, the Athenaeum moved into its own building on Washington Square in 1847. Designed by the innovative architect John Notman (1810-1865), it is recognized as the seminal American structure in the Italianate Revival Style and one of the first Philadelphia buildings built of brownstone. The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
