By the 1930s numerous houses, many of them row homes, were in poor condition in Philadelphia. In a 1934 United States Department of Commerce survey of 433,796 houses found that eight in every thousand homes lacked water, about 3,000 homes lacked heating, and that 7,000 homes were unfit for habitation. By 1939 conditions had only improved slightly.
This historic house includes four green, serpentine, stone, vernacular buildings that were built roughly between 1790 and 1860. They are the farmhouse, stable, springhouse, and a smoke house. The main section of the farmhouse was built circa 1790 and rebuilt in 1860. It is a 2 + 1 ⁄ 2-story, four-bay, serpentine structure.
