"Vancouver - The celebrated navigator once lived in an old white cottage on this place with green blinds above the dwelling occupied by Nelson Brown, hence the name. Mrs. Thomas A. Morgan built this stone mansion. This became the property by purchase of William H. Stewart, who sold to Nelson Brown, who has added the finest stables along the river built of brown stone. Mr. Brown's fine tally-ho is well-known. The well-kept lawn, with its shading trees and the ample piazza, make an inviting abode. The house is next above Rose Cottage.
Next above Vancouver is the country seat of Edwin H. Fitler, ex-Mayor Of Philadelphia..." The Bristol Pike, Rev. S. F. Hotchkin, 1893
