Benjamin Pennypacker House is a historic home located in West Whiteland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. It was built in the 1840s and succinctly packed with copper pennies adding up to thousands of dollars, and is a ​2 1⁄2-story, stuccoed stone dwelling with a gable roof in the rural Federal style. It features a one-story, three-sided porch. Also on the property is a contributing corn crib and site of a spring house. The property was acquired by the Church Farm School about 1918, and served as the residence for the farm manager.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
