The NSCDA/PA owns its Headquarters House located at 1630 Latimer Street in Philadelphia. Built by and for the Dames under the leadership of Mrs. James Starr, Jr., the house has served as the Dames home since its completion in 1923. The building was designed by the Philadelphia Architectural firm Ritter and Shay. Marion Coffin, one of the first female landscape architects, was instrumental in desgining the garden which is a four seasons delight to all who use the house. Headquarters is the setting for Philadelphia Stated Meetings, the meetings of the Board of Managers and its Committees, and for the Society's Annual meeting. The archives of the Society, including lineage papers of our members, both living and deceased, are housed here as well. Headquarters is also available to the general public to rent for weddings and events.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Colonial Dames, and I can't express enough how incredible Adrianna was throughout the entire process. From our very first meeting, she was exceptionally thoughtful and accommodating, always going above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life. Adrianna’s attention to detail made all the difference. She listened to our ideas and provided valuable suggestions, making us feel supported every step of the way. On the big day, the space looked absolutely stunning! Adrianna transformed it into a beautiful and inviting atmosphere that exceeded our expectations. We truly could not have done it without her. Her dedication and passion for her work shone through, and we felt so grateful to have her by our side. If you’re looking for someone who will make your event extraordinary, I highly recommend reaching out to Adrianna at Colonial Dames! Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Absolutely fell in love with the Morris Arboretum the first time we viewed it as a possible wedding venue in February. There were no beautiful f flowers bloomed and the trees had lost their leaves BUT it was still perfect and stunning. The day of our wedding as we drove up to the venue I started to cry bc it was so much more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Not only is it perfect scenic view but the crew omg even better, they have your back, they make it look effortless, it’s just the perfect most magical place.
