Within the next fortnight tho work of
restoring the gardens belonging to tho
old Morris mansion Is to be started. For
months n small army of mechanics has '
been busily engnged In the preparatory
operations, which Included tho rasing of
two houses almost as old, but not ns
largo ns tho stately home of ono of Phlla- I
dolphla's families of Colonial ancestry,
Tho present occupant and owner Is Mrs.
Israel Wlstar Morris, who hns materially
assisted lior son, Eninghnm B. Morris, In
tho work of restoration. Old documents
hnvo been gone over, family records
searched nnd personal recollections re
vived so that everything about the house
and gardens shall be tho same 'ns It was
over a contury ago.
Our fathers, nnd our grcat-grandfnthers,
too, wero familiar with tho big brass
plate on the double doors of tho house
nt 223 South Eighth street. It bears tho
slnglo name "Morris," almost obliterated
by polish and the use of the elbow be
stowed by generations of housemaids.
Tho lock on tho Insldo of the door is nl
most big enough for n Jail, and the koy
Incites the thought that It might belong
to an ancient fortress.
On each side of the door aro two win
dows, through the small panes of which
can bo seen blooming plants no matter
what tho outside temperature mny be.
On the second nnd third floors are ranges
oi nvo windows, all having tho same
small panes and broad sash bar's. To
tho front wall is affixed the old Con
trlbutorshlp Insurance badge.
Tho house is built of alternating red
stretcher and black header bricks, with
tho doorway set between fluted, and
quilled pilasters surmounted by a pedi
ment of simple design, but of most excel
lent proportion.
AN OLD-FASHIONED GAP.DEN.
Through thli doorway admission is
gained to the hall which runs to a door
opposlto the entrance opening Into a gar
den full of box bushes and rose trees and
In season old-fnsldoncd flowers. Origi
nally tho jarden of tho mansion ran back
of a house occupying the lot at 229, but
this house, which was built in 183J by
Luko Morris for his dnughter, Mrs.
Charles Ellis, has Just been demolished
to make room for the new cahl.n whinh
Is to be a replica of the old ono of Colo
nial days. A low brick wall surmounted
by an Iron railing has Just been erected
to Inclose the property.
Between the little thoroughfare, which
was once known as Goodwater alley, now
8t James street, and the Morris mansion
was a houso belonging 'to the Philadel
phia Saving Fund. This residence was
also torn down by the owner for protec
tive measures, and a wall and railing
similar to that on the south side of tho
Morris houso has boen erected.
Changes of ownership, commercialism,
the extension of tho city and lines of
transport have worked havoc with our
Colonial mansions,- but in this Instance
tho usual order of things has been re
versed, leaving the Morris mansion al
most tho only one of the notable houses
of old Philadelphia unaltered by tuo
commercial touch.
Quite a deal of romance and early his
tory havo Men woven about this land
mark, which was built by John Reynolds
in j, oo, soia 10 Ann Dunhln by tho sheriff.
In 1617, Luko Wlstnr Morris, the son of
captain snmuci .Morris, who was the enp
taln of the City Troop during the Revo
lution, purchased tho property, since
when It has passed by Inheritance from
one member of tho family to another.
A STOREHOUSE OF HEIRLOOMS.
The interior of the mansion Is a storo
house of heirlooms of the Morris and
"Wlstar families. Priceless chlnn, old fur
niture and portrnlt.i carry one back to
the long ago days when the tally-ho
punch bowl was more than a relic nnd
the aroma of tho "Fish House Punch"
was more than a memory.
Captain Samuel Morris was n Governor
of the State In Schuylkill for 10 years and
was president or tno Gloucester Fox
Hunting Club, and out of these two or
ganizations the First City Troop was
established It is a notable fact that Ef
flnghnm B. Morris. Jr., became a member
of this organization exactly 100 years
after the death of his great-great-grandfather,
Samuel Morris.
According to family records, the genial
captain waa a man of singularly amiable
personality and one of the beat known
citizens of his day. An excellent horse
man, a keen sportsman arid one who was
Instrumental In bringing out clearly the
fox hunting side of Philadelphia life.
In the year 17G6 a number of gentlemen
of Philadelphia and West Jersey met
at tne rniiaaeipma corree Ilou'e, Front
and Market streets, to organize a fox
hunting club.
This was accomplished, and when the
war with the mother country was im
minent captain .Morris and his friends
wore found with the Philadelphia Troop
of Light Horse, all except four having
been members of the Gloucester Fox
Hunting Club. It was some time before
179T that the members presented Cap
tain Morris with tho china punch bowj
and In which the famous brew was
made from the Captain's own recipe,
which Is still In use.
Mr. Morris says that the Morris Houss
has been occupied three times by four
generations of the family, with Intervals
of a generation between the occupations.
"My grandmother was li years old when
Corawallls entered FhtladelDhla. ami
she lived to be it years old, and 'was
alive when I was a child living In the
house. Everything about it stands to
make the old garden look Just as ft
did when the city was a good many
years younger than It Is today," ha
said today.
