Shows a single-story cottage with a dormer roof. A lady in a long dress stands holding a window shutter on the side of the building. The Quaker Almshouse was erected in 1713 on the property of John Martin who intended it to be used to assist "poor, impotent and necessitous Friends."  It was torn down in 1876.
