Historic house in Pennsylvania, United States
About
The Richard Wall house is a historic home in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, built in 1682. It was owned by the Wall family for 165 years, and was in continuous occupancy from its construction until 1979. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as Wall House and is also sometimes referred to as The Ivy.
The home has undergone several renovations, and a section of the basement wall is the only original remaining construction. It was the site of religious meetings and weddings, and among the earliest locations of Quaker worship in the United States. It is now a museum open to the public, and is located at Church Road and Wall Park Drive in Elkins Park.
