The community center was founded in 1975 as the Gay Community Center of Philadelphia. It purchased its current building at 1315 Spruce Street in 1997, and has owned it since local businessman Mel Heifetz paid off the center's mortgage in 2005.[1] The center's programs include a large archives of local and regional LGBT documents and artifacts, an extensive library, and programs in peer counseling, senior services, education, and arts and culture.[2] The center also offers numerous 12-step meetings throughout the day and night.[3] The western wall of the community center features Ann Northrup's block-long mural, "Pride & Progress", featuring images of Philadelphia's LGBT citizens over decades.[4] Since 2010, the center's Executive Director is Chris Bartlett.[5] See also{{Portal|LGBT}}
