Mount Pleasant is a Georgian mansion in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, built around 1761–62 by privateer John Macpherson and his wife Margaret on a bluff overlooking the Schuylkill River. Designed by Thomas Nevell, an apprentice of Edmund Woolley (the architect of Independence Hall), the house was originally named "Clunie" after the ancestral Scottish seat of Macpherson's clan. Now administered by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Fairmount Park, Mount Pleasant was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974.
