The Charles C. Knox Home has sometimes been described as "one of the best keep secrets of the Main Line". For more than 50 years the home, located in a quiet residential neighborhood of Wynnewood, has been a comfortable residence for older adults. Because there are only 24 residents, there is a warm and friendly "family" atmosphere to the Home.

Built in the 1850s by Josiah Knox, the house later came into the possession of one of Josiah's sons, Charles C. Knox, a bachelor, who lived in it until his death in 1939. By his will and that of his sister, Margaret Knox Green, the family homestead was bequeathed in trust as a home for older adults. After extensive construction, it was open for its first guests in March of 1941.

Interested applicants are invited to contact the Administrator for an interview and tour of the home.
