Research Journal: Herr Anthony Yetzer, 6 Mar 2010 2010, Mar 6 - After an hour or so of being in the car (and getting lost) we arrived at 901 Abington Ave in Wyndmoor. It sits on the corner of Abington and Traymore, looking large, old, and stately. At the peak of the house on the east side is the corner stone which reads: 2010, Mar 8 - We arrived at Christ Church at around 3:00. It's a large towering structure that clearly in the 1700's dominated the Philadelphia skyline. Inside the sanctuary is very spacious It was cool to imagine men like, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and William Penn worshipping God there. It very special to me to imagine John and Amelia Greathouse standing before the alter and being married there. A caretaker of the church told us, that the chandelier in the church was installed in 1740, and that at every wedding that had took place at the church they lit the chandelier. John and Amelia were married there in 1720. Photo Gallery 527 East Mermaid Lane, Wyndmoor, PA
