Exterior view of Mount Equity and surrounding property, including three carriages on the stone drive near the house. Bertha T. Webster, wife of the photographer's brother Clement, stands on the front lawn of the house, looking at the carriages. Mount Equity was rented by the photographer's aunt, Hannah Mary S. Taylor, during the summer months of 1889 and 1890., A small stone section of Mount Equity, known as "The Cottage," was constructed near the Wolf Run House in Pennsdale, Pa. ca. 1810 by Mercy Ellis after the death of her husband, William Ellis. After her death in 1848, her children used the cottage primarily during the summer months. Her son Charles Ellis built a stone addition to the house in 1861 and a rear kitchen wing was added by the family in 1882. It was around this time that the enlarged house shed its name as "The Cottage," and was known as Mount Equity. The property is now home to a Buddhist Monastery, Mt. Equity Zendo Jihoji., Attributed to John H. Webster but may have been taken by other Webster family members.
