Description
Glass negative showing Germantown Avenue, a brick road with trolley tracks running down the center lined with sidewalks, trees, and telephone poles leading up to Wyck, home of Jane Haines. A group of men stands next to a pile of bricks on the right side of the street. A wooden fence stands behind the sidewalk of the left side. Wyck is visible among tree branches beyond the fence. Also called the Haines House, the earliest owner of this property was Hans Millan, who immigrated to the United States in 1689. The house passed through marriage into the Johnson, Wistar, and Haines families. Reuben Haines III named the house Wyck after a mansion in England owned by the non-relative Richard Haines. In 1824, he hired Philadelphia architect William Strickland to alter the interior of the house. Haines’s daughter Jane Reuben Haines, the founder of the first horticultural school for women, the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women, lived in the house until 1911. The house was donated to Historical Germantown in 1873 and serves as a museum, garden, and farm.
