Description

Front of card reads: "Best Christmas wishes and happiness throughout the year," with handwritten notes "Home of Thomas Scott" and "Sid + [illegible]."

This house at 220 Radcliffe Street was built in 1831 by Thomas Kennedy who was the first Superintendent of the construction of the Delaware Canal. The view of the house in this photograph is facing the Delaware River. In 1903, the house was purchased by Thomas Scott who was the Cashier of the Farmer’s National Bank next to the house. Thomas (1868-1949) became his father’s (Charles Scott 1842-1923) successor as cashier. Part of the bank parking lot is presently behind this house.
