- Market Square Street from library window. Old Church & Harkness House
- Description
- Glass negative showing a view of Market Square separating the Market Square Presbyterian Church and Fromberger-Harkness House from a brick road. Trees grow in planters on the sidewalk while grass and small shrubs grow in the square. A lamppost stands on the street corner while a horse-drawn cart waits in front of the house on the opposite side of the square. The view is seen from the second-story window of the Deshler-Morris House at 5442 Germantown Avenue. First called The Green, Market Square was established from land originally owned by James De la Plaine as early as 1703. As a center of community activity, Market Square contained not only market stalls but also the prison and stocks. Samuel B. Morris planted many of the Square’s original trees. Named for John Fromberger and Mary Warden Harkness, the Fromberger-Harkness House was built as late as 1795. It was occupied variously by St. Luke’s Protestant Episcopal Church (1813-1837), the Young Women’s Christian Association of Germantown (1873-1915), Mary Warden Harkness Boarding Home for Girls (1917-1941), the Germantown Fire Insurance Company (1954-1964), and the Germantown Insurance Co. (1964). Originally built as a Dutch Reformed Church circa 1710, the Market Square Presbyterian Church became a German Reformed Church by 1732. The building was razed and rebuilt in 1838-1839, and then enlarged in 1857. The congregation, led by pastor Jacob Helffenstein, withdrew from the Reformed Church in 1855, become Presbyterian in 1858. In 1888, the church was rebuilt after the designs of architect George T. Pearson. By the early 21st-century, it housed the Impacting Your World Christian Center., No. 5., Photographer remarks: Very weak., Time: 10:30, Digitization and cataloging has been made possible through the generosity of David Marriott Morris, Eleanor Rhoads Morris Cox, and William Perot Morris in memory of Marriott Canby Morris and his children: Elliston Perot Morris, Marriott Canby Morris Jr., and Janet Morris and in acknowledgment of his grandchildren: William Perot Morris, Eleanor Rhoads Morris Cox, Jonathan White Morris, and David Marriott Morris., Edited.
