The present Jacobean house, a leading example of the prodigy house , was built in 1611 by Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Chief Minister to King James I .
Built as a suburban villa in 1760, in what is now the Nicetown neighborhood of the city, Hatfield House operated as Catherine Mallon's Boarding School for Girls from 1806 to 1824. William J. Hay, who was the next owner, subsequently made major Greek Revival -style alterations, including the addition of the unusual 5-column temple portico in 1838.
