About
"Poplar Lane", also known as "Ballygomingo", is a historic house in Gulph Mills, Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It served as General George Washington's headquarters in December 1778, prior to the Continental Army's march to winter quarters at Valley Forge.
The original house seems to have been three bays wide, and was built in 1758. It was widened to six bays in 1816, resulting in an asymmetrical facade. The four-bay wing with the two-story portico was added about 1821.
