Notes |
This quaint doorway faces a brief alley at 60 North Fourth Street. It affords access to a manufacturing building, the walls
of which were, at least in part, those of the Whitworth Chapel, built long prior to the Revolution, as a free church, but
occupied, at the period by the "Academy," out of which the University of Pennsylvania has developed. The latter institution
removed from this building, in 1801, to the large residence erected as a Presidential "White House," at Ninth and High Streets.
The First Unitarian Church was organized here. The property is still owned by the University.
