National Historic Landmark-Cliveden

Completed in 1767, this Georgian-style house with handsome pediments, cornices, and a fine doorway was the home of Benjamin Chew, Attorney General of Pennsylvania.

It is the most important surviving landmark of the Battle of Germantown (October 4, 1777) which, combined with the American victory at Saratoga in the same month, helped to secure the alliance of the United States with France.
