Subject: [PABUCKS-L] Need info on Robert Morris' Summerseat house, Morrisville, PA
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 17:07:41 -0000


I want very much to obtain some info on the house called Summerseat.
I believe it was first built in 1773 by Robert Morris. My father, as
a young child, lived in this house in 1920-21 as his parents were
caretakers. The building belonged to the American Legion and was
being renovated. My Father said they were installing electric wiring
into the house in 1921, and that the fire would fly from the
unfinished outlets during Thunderstorms. My Grandmother died in this
house on June 19, 1921. The family sold their belongs at auction,
because my grandfather was going to be hopitalized at Mount Alto
Soldiers Home because of TB. I have two very poor quality photos of
the building that were taking during 1920-21 and the building is in
very sad shape. I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can
give me about this historical house.
