Fairmount Park Houses - Cedar Grove

Cedar Grove, which was moved from its original site in the Frankford section of Philadelphia to Fairmount Park in 1926 1928, served as a summer residence for five generations of the Coates, Paschall and Morris families of Philadelphia. In 1928, through the generosity of Lydia Thompson Morris, the last of the family to possess Cedar Grove, the house, together with its surviving original furnishings, were presented to the city of Philadelphia. Cedar Grove is administered by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
