The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 3 -The Wissahickon
Page 57 contains two photographs:
(a, top) This photograph is a view of the front facade of the David Rittenhouse birthplace. For a full description, please see scrapbook page 41, 2013.34.3.41. The photograph shows the dwelling surrounded by land and trees. An arrow at the top left portion of the photograph points to another dwelling (that of Jacob Rittenhouse) in 'Rittenhouse Town', where Mrs. William Pinkerton, a Rittenhouse descendant., resides.
(b, bottom) This photograph is also a view of the front facade of the David Rittenhouse birthplace. The bottom portion of the dwelling is not totally visible because of Lincoln Drive in the foreground. The construction of Lincoln Drive changed the topography of the land in front of the dwelling making it (the dwelling) appear to have been constructed somewhat below ground level.
