The original section of Wall House, later known as The Ivy, dates from 1682 and was built by Richard Wall on land granted by William Penn. From 1683 to 1702 it served as an early meeting place of the Society of Friends. Additions were built about 1725 and 1805. Sarah Wall married George Shoemaker in 1694, and their descendants lived here until 1847. Cheltenham Township purchased the property from the Bosler family in 1932.
