About this home

Step back in time—without sacrificing modern comfort—in this remarkable ca.1866-built home, steeped in local history and architectural character. The Gothic Revival and Italianate style house was built as part of the development of the Chew Estate, where the Battle of Germantown took place during the American Revolution. In fact, the house sits on one of the "Battleground Lots". The first owner was Catherine Price, who was a "Dunker," a moniker for adult baptism in the Church of the Brethren. The second owner was Samuel Harting, an important local builder, bought the house in the early 1900s, at which time he made his mark with a sweeping renovation that brought the house into the modern age of its time. He even constructed the striking brick building next door as his personal office—a decorative gem designed to showcase his craftsmanship. Today, the home still stands as a testament to quality and care across centuries. Cross the wide front porch and enter through the original front
