Howell's house. 4634 & 4636 Main St., G[erman]t[ow]n [graphic]. April 24, 1889. 1 photograph: glass negative; 5 x 8 in. Glass negative showing the Conyngham-Hacker House at 5214 Germantown Avenue and E.I.H. Howell's house at 5218 Germantown Avenue. Both two-story houses have shuttered windows and ivy climbing the walls. Trees grow in the lawn in front of the houses, which is separated from the brick road by a stone wall. A lamppost and telephone pole stand in the sidewalk in front of the wall. Originally built by William Forbes in 1755, the Conyngham-Hacker House was the residence of David H. Conyngham of the firm J.M. Nesbit & Co. The house changed hands several times before being bought by Isaiah Hacker in 1844, as well as serving as Hannah Wister’s residence. It was used variously as a private residence and a boarding school until being bought by the Germantown Historical Society in 1927 to serve as their headquarters. The Howell House was named after owner E.I.H. Howell. It was originally built by William Forbes in 1795 and used as both a private residence and a boarding school dormitory. It later became part of the Colonial Germantown Historic District. Forms part of Marriott C. Morris Collection. Time: 8:15 Light: Good sun.
