2 A Brief History of and its Architecture was formed in 1687, and there is evidence that European settlement was in progress before Speculators purchased large parcels of land which, over time, were subdivided. While most of the township was suitable for farming, the land along Chester Creek offered opportunities for water-powered mills and mining. Farming and milling dominated the economy of throughout the first two centuries of its existence. One of the more important sources of Thornbury Township s architecture was the milling operations. Early in the eighteenth century, a settlement began to grow at Sarum, where Glen Mills Road (laid out in ) crossed Chester Creek. Iron ore in the area attracted investment by a group of investors who helped John Taylor to construct a water-powered mill to roll iron. By 1724, Taylor had opened the Sarum Forge. This milling operation was the first of its kind in the state of Pennsylvania and served as an early magnet for immigration. In 1750, the Lieutenant Governor of Locksley Mill Pennsylvania (James Hamilton) wrote to London that there is but one Mill or Engine for Slitting and rolling Iron within the County which is situated in. Two early businesses at Sarum were a store owned by Taylor (1742) and a tavern operated by Obadiah Russell (1743). During the American Revolution, the contending armies fought the Battle of the Brandywine in 1777 just to the west of. Following the defeat of the American army, a contingent of British troops headed to the home of Captain Persifor Frazer, a prominent citizen and owner of the Sarum Forge operations. Frazer was captured after the battle and held at the Walnut Street prison in Philadelphia. During a visit to him, his wife smuggled some of his maggotridden bread away and showed it to the American army; General Washington sent a letter to General Howe about the treatment of American prisoners and helped to bring about improved conditions. Following the American Revolution, the milling industry became more active. Richard Cheyney purchased a sawmill on Chester Creek in 1766; this mill later became the property of the Frazer family who owned the old Taylor farmstead (now the Taylor/Frazer Ruin). Two decades later John Edwards built a new forge in the northeastern portion of the Township; this forge became a slitting mill in 1816 and produced seven tons of sheet iron per month. Although the mill was quite 1

sought shorter hours. The Sarum settlement was renamed Glen Mills about this time.

Today the Chester Creek Historic District encompasses the extent of the milling operations along Chester Creek.

3 profitable, in 1829 it was converted into a cut nail factory. In 1836, some of the iron mills at Sarum were converted into paper mills; this conversion may be connected to a famous strike in the Chester Creek mills in the spring of 1836 in which the workers sought shorter hours. The Sarum settlement was renamed Glen Mills about this time. Of all the mills, only the Locksley Mill remains today, although the ruins of other milling operations remain in some locations along Chester Creek. Today the Chester Creek Historic District encompasses the extent of the milling operations along Chester Creek. In the northern reaches of the Historic District are the Locksley Mill and miller s house and the Taylor/Frazer Ruins. The Glen Mills settlement is anchored by later buildings (the railroad station and store) but also includes a pair of late nineteenth century mill workers houses. The district continues south along Stony Bank Road and includes a series of more mill workers houses and stone ruins of older milling operations. A large portion of the houses in the Chester Creek Historic District consists of stone dwellings from the nineteenth century; these vernacular dwellings are are two- and three-story buildings built on the western slope of hills rising from Chester Creek. An example is the Wilcox Mills Workers House on Stony Bank Road, a large three-story, eight-bay frame building. This house began as a Penn Plan house, as did a nearby mill house which was built of stone. The boundary of changed twice following the American Revolution. When Delaware County was formed in 1789 out of Chester County, farmers in Thornbury and Birmingham Townships were allowed to choose whether they wanted their farms to remain in Chester County or be attached to the new Delaware County. As a result, the boundary between the two counties through these townships is quite irregular. The majority of the farms in formed the new in Delaware County. Then in 1842 a portion of Ashton Township south of Glen Mills was attached to Thornbury Township; this area includes many of the mill houses along Chester Creek.

for farming or grazing. These smaller farmsteads include such properties as the John Cheyney Tenant House and Farm on Station Road, which includes a large farm house, barn, forge, and spring house.

Barns in the Township generally are of single-decker variety, although a double-decker barn is extant at the Thomas Brinton Farm.

4 west of Glen Mills became settled with farms. With the passage of years, the large tracts were subdivided into smaller parcels, leading to the creation of farmsteads such as the Thomas Brinton Farm. Although only one working farm exists (the Thatcher-Painter Farm on Route 202 in the southwestern corner of the Township), there are several intact farmsteads, some with some acreage being reserved for farming or grazing. These smaller farmsteads include such properties as the John Cheyney Tenant House and Farm on Station Road, which includes a large farm house, barn, forge, and spring house. Many of these farms had associated tenant houses, such as Maple Springs Farm on Glen Mills Road. Barns in the Township generally are of single-decker variety, although a double-decker barn is extant at the Thomas Brinton Farm. The Brinton Barn is significant not only for its architecture but also for its interior silo (a common practice of the late nineteenth century). Barn on Tanguy Road Remnants of farms dot the landscape throughout the Township. The Pyle family was prominent in the western portions of the Township, and many men from that family built houses which bear their names today (e.g., the Israel, Eli, Jacob, and John Pyle Houses). Most of the agricultural outbuildings associated with these houses have disappeared since the owners have discontinued the farm operations. The Prospect Hill Farm on Tanguy Road is an example Prospect Hill Farm of a farm house which was enlarged and converted into a stylish Italianate residence during the middle of the nineteenth century. Further evidence of the extended viability of farming is a large Second Empire farm house on Tanguy Road with a mansard roof dating to c In addition, a farm house on lower Stony Bank Road was was enlarged in the early twentieth century; this house began as a small Penn Plan house with a detached kitchen, both of which are extant.

This building became a post office in 1832 and is one of the oldest post offices in the United States still using its original space. A weaver rented a portion of the Yellow House about this time and produced manufactured cloth, coverlets, linen, towelings, and linsey. Most resources in the district are two-story houses, either stone or frame. Many of the houses in this area have been stuccoed. has been the location of few religious congregations throughout its history. In the early years, settlers apparently attended religious services in adjacent townships (such as Birmingham Friends Meeting). Perhaps the earliest Thornbury congregation was the Stony Bank Methodist Church, which began c Later in the century, three other congregations were formed: Wayside, Bethlehem, and Thornbury AME. In an interesting turn of events, three of these four congregations built new facilities in Bethlehem and Wayside reflect a more pronounced Gothic architectural influence, whereas Stony Bank has a Bethlehem Methodist Church simpler and more vernacular building. Thornbury AME rebuilt their facilities in 1958 and followed the trends of that decade, with a small front-gabled building attached to a cross-gabled classroom wing. The advent of the railroad in fostered economic growth during the nineteenth century. Thornbury s paper mills and nail factories produced much-needed goods for the Philadelphia market, and the railroad facilitated an exchange of goods. The P.B. & W. Railroad connected Philadelphia to West Chester and stopped at Glen Mills and Locksley. The construction of the train station at Glen Mills in 1882 and the accompanying station store represent some of the more significant architectural trends of the latter quarter of the nineteenth century. Today there are three train stations in the Township: Glen Mills, Locksley, and Cheyney. As the Thornbury industry began to slow during the latter nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, one of the more important events in the Township was the moving of Cheyney University, a primarily African-American institution, into the northern portion of the township. A series of buildings was constructed on a large quad in the center of the campus in the early years of the twentieth century following the Colonial Revival style. As such the core of the university is perhaps one of the most impressive Glen Mills Train Station 4

Contemporary architectural trends were also reflected in the construction of new schools around the turn of the twentieth century. The Glen Mills School, west of Glen Mills, is a boarding school for youth and reflects the Queen Anne style with its Richardsonian arches, flared eaves, and expressive chimneys. It was founded in The Township built two smaller public school buildings in North of Glen Mills is the Tresa Hall School, a Colonial Revival building with a pyramidal roof and cupola and archedhead windows. Thornbury School Western on Glen Mills School Western on Westtown Road has a large Queen Anne porch and balcony and expressive keystones above each window and arch. Each school makes evident that the Township was not isolated from the prevailing architectural trends of the time. Throughout the twentieth century, the township s economy shifted away from industry; farming continued as a major economic force into the 1970s. One by one the mills closed, and most of them collapsed into ruin. A large quarrying business replaced the industry in the southeastern portion of the Township. Eventually, railroad service through ceased, and the Cheyney and Glen Mills train stations were House in the Tanguy Homesteads converted for other uses. With farming still profitable in the area, people interested in homestead associations created the Brinton Lake and Tanguy Homesteads. Houses in both of these associations have been much altered over the years. During the past two decades much of the farmland in has been developed as population pressure from Philadelphia moved westward. As a result, several of the old farms have become isolated houses and barns in the midst of larger development. 5

7 Historic Resource Inventory Methodology (10/2001) Introduction In 2000, contracted the Brandywine Conservancy, Inc. and Wise Preservation Planning to develop a planning strategy that would enable the township to protect its historic resources. The demolition of several historic resources for residential development was a catalyst for this preservation process. The township plan ultimately incorporated three preservation elements. The first has involved drafting a township-wide historic resource protection ordinance. The ordinance is designed to encourage the preservation and reuse of historic resources. Drafted by the Brandywine Conservancy, it is currently under review by the Board of Supervisors. Consideration of the ordinance prompted the update and expansion of the township s historic resource inventory, last compiled by the Delaware County Planning Department in This second preservation element, which involved surveying the entire township and documenting over 195 properties1, was completed in the fall of The work was specifically undertaken by Wise Preservation Planning (formerly Robert Wise Consulting) and funded equally between the township and a Historic Preservation grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC). The master property list and resource selection process is included in this report. The project also included drafting a brief history of the township, found on pages 1-5 of the report. The third preservation element will be ongoing. It involves the careful review of development plans by the Historical Commission as they relate to the impact on the township s historic resources. Among other things, the resource protection ordinance now being considered will strengthen the Commission s ability to review plans through the proposed Historic Resource Impact Study requirement. 1 Although a single file was created, the Tanguy Homesteads consist of several properties. Documenting all of them was beyond the scope of the survey project. Further research and information is necessary to determine how the resources there should be treated with regard to the proposed township ordinance, or whether the development qualifies as a National Register Historic District. 6

8 Historic Resource Survey and Inventory The Historic Resource Inventory is the result of a series of historic resource field surveys undertaken by Wise Preservation Planning in the late winter and spring of The purpose of the project was to ascertain the extent and architectural significance of the historic resources throughout. Members of the Historical Commission and planners from Wise Preservation Planning conducted the survey. The project began with a review of background data on the township and an earlier survey completed by Delaware County Planning Department in All properties with extant historic resources listed on the 1984 Delaware County Historic Site Survey were surveyed. Forty-one additional properties were visited and added to the 1984 inventory, which originally had 161 properties. The field survey discovered that 14 properties that were part of the 1984 survey have been demolished or otherwise lost. All additional resources were given Historic Resource Property (HRP) numbers at the end of the existing inventory, i.e., beginning with number 162. As stated, Tanguy Homestead, though consisting of several properties, has been given one HRP number. Historic resources on each property were photographed and the buildings were drawn on a site plan. Information for each property, including a photograph of the primary resource (such as a farmhouse), site plan, architectural description, and address, was then entered onto a Pennsylvania Historic Resource Survey Form, the official form used by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) to document historic resources throughout the state. This information can be updated anytime, as all forms are on the township s computer system. When completed, each form and accompanying photographs were placed in an individual manila folder; they will be kept on file at the township s historic preservation file system. Aside from the 41 properties added to the 1984 Survey List, the inventory was expanded due to subdivisions of earlier historic properties. Three of the properties from the 1984 survey have been divided, one of them into three parcels. In these cases the HRP number was altered the designation of the resources using letters (e.g., the spring house subdivided from HRP #46 is now designated HRP #46a). Demolished properties have empty folders to indicate that the historic resources disappeared between 1984 and In the final analysis, the inventory includes documentation on 195 properties containing approximately 487 historic resources. 7

9 Criteria for Inclusion The 2001 Historic Property Inventory contains properties with historic resources if, upon review by the consultant and the Historical Commission, they possess significant architectural quality, are representative of a specific mode or style of architecture, are structurally intact, are greater than 50 years of age, and/or are historically significant. Guidelines for inclusion were based on the National Register criteria for listing resources on the National Register of Historic Places. As stated, 41 properties were added to the 1984 survey. Resource Classification Each property was assigned a classification per the proposed ordinance. Class I Historic Resources include the following: All buildings, sites, structures, and objects listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places All buildings and structures classified as "certified historic structures" by the Secretary of the Interior; All buildings, sites, structures, and objects documented as "contributing resources" in a National Register Historic District; Any resources which have received a Determination of Eligibility (DOE) from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC); Contributing resources within a historic district that has received a DOE from the PHMC, and Other resources of similar historical significance added to Class I by the Board of Supervisors. There are three historic districts (listed or eligible for the National Register) in Thornbury Township: Chester Creek (1972), Chester Creek Boundary Increase (1997), and Thornton (1993). There are eight individual properties listed or eligible for the National Register: Cheyney University (1997), John Cheyney Log Tenant House (1978), Glen Mills School (1976), High Hill Farm (1986), Melrose (Cheyney President s House 1986), Paulownia (1993), Thatcher-Painter Farm (1995), and the Wayside Church (1980). Melrose is located on the Cheyney University campus. Class II Historic Resources consist of all other resources in the historic resource inventory and shown on the Historic Resources Map. The survey identified several resources that are considered Class II by the ordinance language but have the potential to be Class I based on their architectural and/or historical significance. 8

10 This is a summary of the Township s historic resources: 54 Class I properties, including 31 resources in the Chester Creek Historic District and its Boundary Increase and 12 in the Thornton Historic District 141 Class II properties, including 38 properties with potential for Class I Historic Resource Map A major planning tool resulting from the inventory is the historic resource map. Each property containing historic resources has been indicated on the township s new Historic Resource Map. The map, designed on a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) database, shows all 195 properties per their classification. The map shows each tax parcel in the township and indicates the location of the historic resources. Concentrations of resources appear in larger scale inset maps in order to give additional information on the location. As a database, the map can be updated as needed. 9
