Summary
| Description |
English: "Claus Rittenhouse House" (Rittenhouse homestead), Lincoln Drive & Rittenhouse Street, Philadelphia, PA Building/structure dates: 1707 initial construction. Significance: The building is one of the earliest surviving structures constructed by German-speaking people in the State of Pennsylvania. The building and site also possess exceptional significance as an industrial community and for the association to various members of the Rittenhouse family. The site is an important industrial community whose history spans the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries and is the core of an industrial village that once included over forty industrial, agricultural, institutional, and domestic structures. Astronomer David Rittenhouse was born in this house, the great-grandson of the original owner, William Rittenhouse. |
