Item 2, bottom: Image of "Wootten, the Country Residence of George W. Childs" (as captioned). Childs was a publisher and co-owner of The Public Ledger. He kept a Center City residence, but reveled in welcoming people to this country home at 401 S. Bryn Mawr Avenue, Bryn Mawr, Radnor Township, Delaware County. Wootton (old English for "woodland") was a Tudor style mansion, built in 1881 by architect John McArthur (who also designed Philadelphia's City Hall). In 1950, the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary acquired the mansion and other outbuildings of the estate, to create a boys' academy. Today, the mansion still exists as the IHM Conference Center, hosting retreats and functions for the ministry. Engraving for an unidentified publication, 21 x 16 cm, published April 10,1887.
