Description

Located on the Delaware River side of Radcliffe Street at Dorrance Street. When Sarah L. Keene died, the house became the property of the Episcopal Church Conference of Philadelphia and was used as a home for "gentlewomen, widows, or single women of respectability and decayed fortunes who had become destitute in old age." It was removed in 1964 and its contents sold. The Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library now occupies the site.
