Artifacts displayed in the Paul Robeson House and Museum.

By the time the West Philadelphia Cultural Alliance (WPCA) set its eyes on the twin rowhouse at 4951 Walnut Street, it was in horrid condition. No longer was its wooden porch the warm spot where Paul Robeson had sat for some fresh air and to watch neighbors pass by. (See More about the Restoration of the House)

The restoration on the Robeson House was completed in 2015.
