Description |
Exterior view of rear hexastyle doric portico of mansion facing a broad lawn. The Bucks County estate on the Delaware River
was originally purchased in 1795 by Philadelphia merchant John Craig, procured around 1814 by his son-in-law Nicholas Biddle.
Originally named Craig's Hall, the federal-style mansion was renovated and altered from 1797-1798; 1806-1808 (by Benjamin
Henry Latrobe); and 1836-1838 (by Thomas U. Walter). Walter added the portico and other prominent Greek Revival elements to
the house.
