Harriton House
Harriton House is a historic house on the Main Line, most famously the house of Charles Thomson, the secretary of the Continental Congress. It was originally built in 1704 by Rowland Ellis, a Welsh Quaker, and was called Bryn Mawr, meaning "high hill" (the modern town, Bryn Mawr, is named after the house).
