Henry Chapman Mercer

Henry Chapman Mercer was an archaeologist, scholar, collector, and tile maker born and active in Doylestown. Between 1908 and 1916, he designed and built three unique concrete structures: Fonthill, his castle-like home; the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, where he made his distinctive handcrafted products; and the Mercer Museum, site of his vast collection of early Americana. His patented tile mosaics decorate the Pennsylvania State Capitol.
