What reading level is The Colonial Homes of Philadelphia And Its Neighborhood book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The interior adornment of the house, which was at that time said to be the handsomest in Pennsylvania, was most elaborate.
Delicately carved marble mantelpieces were cause for proper pride. The walls were hung with paper brought from France and along the halls and opposite the nur- series was a full portrayal in colours of Polonius giving advice to his son.
The dining-room is of truly generous proportions, and had need to be for the lavish entertaining that was done there. It was no unusual thi...ng for fifty people to sit down to dinner and on the occasion of Doctor Wetherill's birthday parties in February sometimes as many as eighty guests would take their places at the table. Open-handed hospitality was ever the rule at Fatland and was not con- fined exclusively to the personal friends and acquaint- ances of the owner. When the Wetherill Blues, a mili- tary body named in honour of Doctor Wetherill who had organised it, were mustered out after the Civil War they were so unstintedly feted at Fatland that for two weeks echoes of good cheer were ringing through the countryside.
