Approaching Graeme Park. Graeme is pronounced “Gram”.
The visitor center is in a converted barn from the early 1800's
Kind of a dreary cold day, but good for photography.
The cobblestones mark the original carriage turnaround.
Note fire mark of the Philadelphia Contributorship dated 1752. I think it is a donated replica.
This is the dining room. It was converted by Dr. Graeme from the original kitchen.
The original kitchen fireplace was made smaller to scale better with the room's new purpose
Love that red paint.
This is the parlor, as renovated by Dr. Graeme. Amazing Georgian panelwork, on all four walls. Unusual for Pennsylvania.
Note pediment over door. The walls retain their original paint, which has been absorbed over time by the pine woodwork.
This staircase was enlarged from an earlier winder stair.

Beautiful paneling in bedroom. Replica tiles on fireplace. Note closets with fanlights.

The white building across the way is a farmhouse, part of which dates to Governor Keith's time.
