About these images:
They were found on the
back sides of individual pages in John Moran's scrapbook, which
contained mostly photographs he took in the 1860s. Many of these
images, both photographs and watercolors or drawings, or photographs
of the same, are accompanied by brief handwritten notes about
the buildings. These were probably pasted in by LCP staff in the
late19th century, at a later date than Moran's use of scrapbook.
In some cases, the photographer or artist is identified and the
image will be dated, but often it is not.

Washington Residence in 1793.
Photographer unknown; no date
"Clipping reads "This house, No. 4782 Main St. Germantown,
Philadelphia, was built by David Deshler in 1774 and '75. At the
time of the Battle of Germantown, it was taken possession of by
Sir William Howe commander-in-chief of the British Army as his
head-quarters; and here he received a visit from the future King
William the 4th. then a midshipman in the British Navy. In 1782
the property was sold by David Deshler to Colonel Isaac Franks,
aid-de-camp to Washington. During the yellow fever of 1793, the
seat of government was removed to Germantown, and Washington rented
the house furnished from Colonel Franks. In 1804 it was purchased
by Elliston and John Perot as a summer residence, and on the death
of Elliston Perot in 1834 it fell to his share and became part
of his estate. His son-in-law Samuel B. Morris, purchased it soon
after, and resided there until his death in 1859, leaving it by
his will to his son Elliston P. Morris the present owner who resides
in it. 8th Mont 1876.""
