	Stenton is one of the earliest, best-preserved and most authentic historic houses in Philadelphia.		'''Stenton''' is '''one of the earliest, best-preserved and most authentic historic houses in Philadelphia'''.

	Built in 1730 as a country house by James Logan--Secretary to William Penn; merchant, politician, justice, scientist, and scholar--Stenton is renowned for its early Georgian architecture and outstanding collections. The house is furnished with 18th- and 19th-century Logan family furnishings, many commissioned from some of the most well-known and skilled craftsmen in the Colonies, and others imported from England. Relatively untouched - electricity and plumbing were never installed at Stenton - the house gives an unparalleled view of colonial Pennsylvania.
