History and architectural features
Built between 1765 and 1766, this historic structure is a four-story, four-bay, brick townhouse. It was designed in the Georgian style, and was the home of prominent Pennsylvania lawyer and justice Jasper Yeates (1745–1817) from 1775 to 1817.[2]
In 1882, it was expanded to add the fourth floor and converted to commercial uses, and was then subsequently restored nearly a century later, with work completed between 1978 and 1979.[2]
