The Benjamin West Birthplace, also known as Benjamin West House,[3] is a historic home located on the campus of Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. It was the birthplace of artist Benjamin West (1738-1820), who was an influential mentor to a generation of American painters, including Gilbert Stuart and Charles Willson Peale.[4] His birthplace was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.[2][1] It presently houses the dispatch and offices for the college's campus police, along with a visitor information center.[3]
