Built in 1682 in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, the Richard Wall House is tied to Richard Wall, a founder of Cheltenham Township who came with William Penn’s Quakers and helped establish the township. The house stayed in the Wall family for 165 years and was also connected through marriage to the Shoemaker family. Though repeatedly redesigned in 1730, 1760, and 1805 and later modernized, it remained an important local landmark, an early site of Quaker worship in the United States, and a place for meetings and weddings. Acquired by Cheltenham Township in 1932, it later became a museum interpreting more than 200 years of domestic life.
