Exterior views of front facade of Mount Pleasant Mansion (i.e. Arnold Mansion) built for Captain John Macpherson, a successful French and Indian war privateer. Mount Pleasant was described by John Adams as "the most elegant seat in Pennsylvania," and is an excellent example of Philadelphia's Middle Georgian country houses of the 1760s. After John Macpherson, General Benedict Arnold owned the house for a a short time (but never occupied it), and then General Jonathan Williams and his family lived there until 1869 when the City of Philadelphia purchased the property. Restored 1926., Contains 6 postcards printed in color and 3 printed in black and white., Digitized with funding from a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (PW-506-19-10), 2010-2012.
