Glass negative showing the De la Plaine House at 5521-5523 Germantown Avenue, a three-story stone building located on the corner and previously owned by the Morris family. The first floor houses a shop with some of its wares displayed outside. A horse-drawn cart stands on the street in front of the building. James De la Plaine settled in Germantown in 1691. Before his death in 1750, he built a house. It was afterward owned by E.B. Paramore and used as a corner store before the Germantown Mutual Fire Insurance Company bought the property in 1885. The Rev. B. Wistar Morris also lived here before he became a bishop in Oregon.
