St. Peter's Episcopal Church of Germantown is a historic church at 6000 Wayne Avenue in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1873 to the designs of Furness & Hewitt. George W. Hewitt likely was mainly responsible for the design, but the influence of Frank Furness is readily seen in the exuberant proportions of the steeple.[2]
The church was built as part of the suburban development of the area by Henry H. Houston and Houston served as Church Warden for many years.[2]
The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is a contributing property of the Tulpehocken Station Historic District.
It is currently (2022) the campus of the Waldorf School of Philadelphia.
