Other Buildings of Note
Three doors down from the St. John Hotel is the Ionic temple front of the Hibernian Hall, designed by the great Philadelphia architect Thomas U. Walter and built in 1839-1841. It can be seen more clearly in the 2010 photo. In the distance at the far left is the tower of St. Michael's Church (1751-1762), one of the oldest and most important buildings surviving from the colonial city. It is also one of the best American "copies" of the famous design by James Gibbs for St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London (1721-1726), the model for so many Protestant churches in England and America.

The hotel was built in 1853 and originally named the Mills House Hotel. The building was torn down in 1968 and the present building on the site, the Mills House, was built in 1970 in the same architectural style. Many of the neighboring buildings remain. as can be seen below in the view from May of 2010.
