Excerpt from the article:
Built between 1765 and 1766, this historic structure is a four-story, four-bay, brick townhouse. It was designed in the Georgian style, and was the home of prominent Pennsylvania lawyer and justice Jasper Yeates (17451817) from 1775 to 1817.(Submitted on July 5, 2023, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)
In 1882, it was expanded to add the fourth floor and converted to commercial uses, and was then subsequently restored nearly a century later, with work completed between 1978 and 1979.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
