The Garrick House, a Colonial Relic
Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Shows a three-story colonial residence with a yard bordered by hedges. Pedestrians stand outside while an early automobile is parked in the street.
The "Yellow Mansion," at Paschall Avenue and Sixty-ninth Streets, is one of the best preserved among the colonial homes of the city. It was formerly known as the Garrick house. In the course of the Revolution it was used as a place of storage for weapons and equipments intended for American troops. General Howe made his deadquarters here prior to the capture of Philadelphia. The owner, in 1923, is Mr. A.E. Kerschner.
