Engraving, etching and stipple print of a country estate showing landscaping.
The small square building, surrounded by trees and shrubbery, sits on high ground above the west bank of the Schuylkill River. Built in 1785 by John Penn, grandson of William Penn, the house's isolated position suited the reclusive owner, who named it "Solitude". Today, the house is owned by the Zoological Gardens who use it for administration offices.
