Its main block is five bays wide and two bays deep, with a smaller kitchen wing added around 1760. The main block had its interiors remodeled in the early Federal period, while exterior cornice details and some original trim remain. John Petty, an English-born fur trader and friend of James Logan, owned the property first and acted as an agent between the provincial government and the Indians. Jeremiah Warder, a Philadelphia merchant, owned it from 1774 until his death in 1783, and he was one of the Quakers arrested during the Revolution and sent to Virginia. During the Whitemarsh Encampment of late 1777, Continental troops under General Washington used the house as a camp hospital. The house is significant for these associations with early settlers and for its Revolutionary-era history.","period_of_significance":"1730-Present","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian","criteria":[],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:31.087916-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/76001654.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001654/8047f9dea4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001654/8047f9dea4-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Quaker_Manor_Ft_Washington_PA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Quaker_Manor_Ft_Washington_PA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995602","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaker_Manor_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7268555"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/montgomery-county/quaker-manor-house-76001654/"}
