If These Walls Could Talk: An Invitation into the Home and Life of Anthony J. Drexel is an exhibition highlighting the family home of Anthony J. Drexel at his old 39th and Walnut property in the once Drexel Colony of West Philly. Using actual pieces found in his home, If These Walls Could Talk looks to transport its visitors into the heart of the 39th and Walnut residence, allowing them to envision what his home – and in tandem Anthony J. Drexel – was like. 

Curator: Natalee Mayes (BA Art History '26) 

This exhibition is free and open to the public. For any questions please contact Lynn Waddell at lcc48@drexel.edu.
