Description Depicts the northwest front of Graeme Park, also known as the Keith House, built in 1722 for Pennsylvania Governor, William Keith. Keith named it Fountain Low because of the abundance of natural springs in the area, but Dr. Thomas Graeme purchased the property in 1739 and renamed it Graeme Park. Graeme remodeled the interior in 1755 with fine marble and Delft tiles and entertained lavish parties in the house. The property was given to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1958 by the Strawbridge family.
