This is the largest of the buildings remaining in Historic RittenhouseTown. A recent study of the building concludes that it was likely constructed about 1810-1830, in a style that might be considered transitional, combining the Federal and Greek Revival. Notable features include a central chimney and a convenient kitchen drain. This house is not yet open to the public. (This building is labeled 209 on the map).
