The Battle of Germantown occurred October 4, 1777 and centered around this house - Cliveden. I have several Pennsylvania German Patriots who fought in this battle and lived nearby. The house belongs to Chief Justice Chew and still bears bullet holes and cannon pockmarks. In one of the upstairs bedrooms one of they dying soldiers drew on the wall a silhouette of his fiance. I couldn't see it the faint outline but others in my group did.
