Grumblethorpe
Houses / Mansions, Germantown and Chestnut Hill
Fodor's Review:
The blood of General James Agnew, who died after being struck by musket balls during the Battle of Germantown, stains the floor in the parlor of this Georgian house. Built by Philadelphia merchant and wine importer John Wister in 1744, Grumblethorpe is one of Germantown's leading examples of early-18th-century Pennsylvania-German architecture. The Wister family lived here for 160 years; on display are period furnishings and family mementos.
