Description
English: William Penn's "Slate Roof House" from Benson John Lossing's The pictorial field-book of the revolution: or, Illustrations, by pen and pencil, of the history, biography, scenery, relics, and traditions of the war for independence. Harper & Brothers, 1850. p. 95. Caption in footnote reads, "This view is from Second Street. The building is of imported brick, except the modern addition beWeen the wings, which is now occupied as a clothing store by an Israelite. The house is suffered to decay, and doubtless the broom of improvement will soon sweep it away, as a cumberer of valuable ground."
