Description

Built in 1816 following the death of Sarah L Keene, it became the property of the Episcopal Church Dioceses of Philadelphia and was used as a home for maiden ladies. The Grundy Foundation purchased the house. They demolished the house in 1964 to make room for the building of the Grundy Library. Note the trolley tracks in front (1917-1932).
