Isaac Paschall Morris House - 826 Pine Street
826 Pine Street - 1958
1867 McElroy Philadelphia City Directory
The previous 1860 McElroy City Directory mentioned before, says 824 Pine for home address of Isaac P. Morris.
On the 1875 PhilaGeoHistory map, there are four empty lots on the that block. Meaning to me that the house did not change for I. P. Morris but the address was a typo or a convenience / inaccuracy by the Post Office at the time.
In other documents, 826 Pine St. the address of his youngest surviving son on that address up until the turn of the 20th Century.
1910 Bromley Phila. City Map
Also with the Colonial / Federalist style of the house, I would have to say the Morris house was probably in that family for some generations.
Which leaves me with the thought with this building still standing, if its interior is still Federalist etc.. And that photos with those original interiors and the priceless furniture in the Cedar Grove / Art Museum collection and some computerized photo-shopping would make for some interesting photos of some of the furniture - in situ - in those original rooms of the Isaac Paschall Morris House at 826 Pine Street.
Those old pieces of course from 1841 onward when Isaac had inherited Cedar Grove and the style in furniture would have been changing to other than Colonial / Federal periods in favor of Empire, early and late Victorian. Just a thought.
