The house we know today as Harriton was built by a Welsh Quaker named Rowland Ellis in 1704. Ellis was a significant member of his Welsh community, serving as a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly and as an overseer of the Quaker schools in Philadelphia. It was Rowland Ellis who received the nearly 700 acre estate from William Penn in the 1680's. He called his estate "Bryn Mawr" which means "high hill" in Welsh. The three-story, T-shaped stone house, which he built, with its flaring eaves and its tall brick chimneys survives as a unique and sophisticated example of early Pennsylvania architecture. The original interior paneling and closed-string staircase show stylistic elements from this early period.
Rowland Ellis' small farm simply could not support him and his family, and he was forced to sell the property in 1719. The name of the estate changed from "Bryn Mawr" to "Harriton" when Ellis sold the property to a Maryland tobacco planter named Richard Harrison. Harrison, like Ellis, was a Quaker. He increased the number of acres under cultivation at his new property called Harriton, and he introduced tobacco culture as well as slaves to the estate. Tobacco was grown successfully here until Richard Harrison's death in the 1740's. Tobacco grows well in Pennsylvania, and some are surprised to learn that it was a principal crop in Pennsylvania when William Penn first settled the colony. Visitors will find a small plot of tobacco growing here each summer, though the tobacco is not for any use except ornament with its attractive little funnel-shaped purple or white flowers.
Charles Thomson was Harriton's best known occupant, and it is Charles Thomson who is the focus of the restoration of the 1704 Harriton House. Thomson is most famous for his role as the first and only Secretary to the Continental Congresses. Thomson originally acquired the house and estate through his marriage to Richard Harrison's daughter, Hannah Harrison, in 1774. In 1789, after serving 15 years as the Secretary of the Continental and Confederation Congresses, Charles Thomson and his wife Hannah retired to Harriton, where he remained until his death in 1824. Thomson was a Scotch-Irishman by birth. He emigrated to America at age 10 . Before Thomson became the Secretary of the Continental Congresses, he had several careers. Thomson taught Latin and Greek in the Quaker schools in Philadelphia. He later became a merchant and distiller of rum in the growing city. In 1765, Thomson helped lead local resistance to the hated Stamp Act.

I made a peach and blueberry cobbler last week, based on a recipe by Nigel Slater. Mmm....blueberry juices.

5-kilometre long public waterfront promenade serving as a key pedestrian connector for the
future Punggol Waterfront Town. Environmental improvement works include an arrival plaza
next to the existing beach, a water lily pond park, fishing platforms leaning over the water
edge and bridge crossings over canals. Application of sustainable building materials such as
GRC simulated concrete, laterite and oxidised steel throughout the promenade makes for an
environmentally friendly development.
