redirect Thaddeus Kosciuszko National Memorial , at 301 Pine Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania , preserves the home of Tadeusz Kościuszko . The life and work of the Polish patriot and hero of the American Revolution are commemorated here.
Thaddeus Kosciuszko House in May of 1972, prior to restoration.
The home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 18 , 1970 . The National Memorial was authorized on October 21 , 1972 . It is administered under Independence National Historical Park .
At 0.02 acre (80 m²), the memorial is often referred to as America's smallest "national park " (or unit of the National Park Service ). Benjamin Franklin National Memorial is even smaller (only a statue), but that national memorial is designated an "affiliated area" rather than a "unit" because it is not administered by the federal government.
