Pont Reading, Colonial residence in Ardmore, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The stone structure of Pont Reading incorporates sections from different periods, including a log cabin from 1683 and a kitchen wing added in 1813.
Joshua Humphreys, the naval architect who designed the USS Constitution, resided at Pont Reading throughout his life after its construction in 1730.
The architecture of Pont Reading demonstrates the evolution of colonial residential design through its mixture of building materials and structural additions over time.
The property, which spans one acre, received National Register of Historic Places designation on October 26, 1972, and remains a private residence.
The name Pont Reading derives from the Humphreys family ancestral home, Reading Pont in Wales, connecting American colonial architecture to Welsh heritage.
