U. Walter Residence, Front Elevation
Morton
& High Streets,
Germantown,
Philadelphia, PA
Walter
began to design this house while he was still in
Washington
. He engaged architect John Skirving to supervise construction during
his absence. Two dozen drawings survive for this house, which Walter
moved into in 1865. Constantino Brumidi, whose mural adorns the
rotunda of the Capitol, did frescoed ceilings for Walter’s personal
residence here. The house was demolished in the early twentieth
century.
