The Thomas Eakins House, located in the Spring Garden section of Philadelphia, is a historic rowhouse that was the home of influential American artist Thomas Eakins from 1854 until his death in 1916. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965, the house features a fourth-floor studio added by Eakins' father in 1874.

Today, the Thomas Eakins House is home to a local artist cooperative and serves as the base for the Mural Arts Program, a Philadelphia-based initiative known for creating outdoor murals. Eakins, known for his contributions to realism in painting and his innovative use of photography, left a lasting legacy in the art world from his lifelong home in Philadelphia.
