Harriton House, Colonial house in Bryn Mawr, Montgomery County, US.
The Harriton House features a T-shaped stone structure with a gable roof, measuring thirty-seven feet wide and twenty-two feet deep in its front section.
Built in 1704 by Welsh Quaker Rowland Ellis, this residence later became home to Charles Thomson, who served as secretary of the Continental Congress.
The original name Bryn Mawr, meaning high hill in Welsh, influenced the naming of the surrounding town and represents early Welsh settlement patterns.
The Harriton Association maintains the house as a museum, offering guided tours from Wednesday through Saturday with special events throughout the year.
The property underwent a precise restoration process to match its appearance during Charles Thomson's residency for the 1976 United States Bicentennial celebrations.
