Rittenhouse Home

This building has not yet undergone a thorough historic study, so it does not yet have a name. Judging from its appearance on a 1772 map, it probably dates from the mid-to-late 18th century. It was enlarged and remodeled in the 19th century. The house lies along the road that would have led to the grist mill of Henry Rittenhouse, which was situated on the Wissahickon at the Blue Stone bridge. This house is not yet open to the public.
