The First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, located at 215 South 16th Street, has a history stretching back to 1786, making it one of the oldest Unitarian Universalist congregations in the United States. The current church building, completed in 1833, is a notable example of Greek Revival architecture designed by architect Thomas U. Walter, who later contributed to the design of the United States Capitol Building. Throughout its history, the church has been associated with progressive social causes and has served as a platform for free thought and expression. The sanctuary frequently hosts concerts featuring diverse musical genres due to its excellent acoustics and historical significance as a community space. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A concert featuring Dana and Alden is scheduled to take place within this venue on October 28th, 2026.
