Stenton

It isn't Stenton.

Stenton is one of the earliest, best-preserved historic houses in Philadelphia. It was built between 1723 and 1730 by John Nicholas, master builder, for James Logan, Secretary to Pennsylvania founder William Penn.

Its distinguished American Georgian architecture, its outstanding collection, and its superb documentation combine to create one of the most authentic house museums in the region. As part of Philadelphia's Historic Northwest, Stenton now sits on three acres of the original 500-acre plantation. The site includes an elegant c. 1730 mansion, a kitchen wing, privy, icehouse, barn, and Colonial Revival garden. It is located at 4601 N. 18th St. (at Courtland St - about 2 blocks from the Wayne Junction RR Station).
