Humphry Marshall House, Georgian residence in Marshallton, Pennsylvania.
The Humphry Marshall House features two and a half stories constructed with locally quarried limestone and presents irregularly spaced bays on the ground floor.
The residence, built between 1773 and 1774, belonged to early American botanist Humphry Marshall, who established one of the first botanical gardens in the United States.
The property represents significant developments in American botany, as Marshall authored the first scientific descriptions of North American trees and shrubs in his book Arbustrum Americanum.
The historic house sits on 2.5 acres along State Route 162 in West Bradford Township, where visitors can examine the remaining garden layout from the 18th century.
The interior contains a wooden cabinet integrated into the masonry walls, specifically designed for storing botanical specimens from Marshall's extensive collection.
