    "Built by Major Lenox in 1816 and located at 722 Radcliffe Street. His niece Sarah Lukens Keene, was known, while visiting abroad as the 'American Beauty.'"

    The Keene House was later owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Philadelphia which operated a home for elderly maiden ladies. They sold the home, due to a lack of funds in 1963. Part of the Grundy Library now occupies the site. The home was demolished in 1964.
