Removal of Penns Cottage From Its Letitx Street Site
Removal of William Penns old house, presently on Letitx street near Second, will start in a week to ten days under Addison Flints supervision. The structure will be taken apart, numbered, and rebuilt at West Fairmount Park with careful attention to detail. An accurate drawing will be made before work begins, pieces numbered, and the project is expected to take about two months. The move is prompted by ground use needs of O S Janney & Co, with Nathaniel FE Janney and Henry T. Coates representing buyers who will fund the work. The cottage has historic ties to Col. Markham and to Penn, including a deed to Letitia Penn dated January 29, 1701.
