Inscription.
Site of the Whitton, also, Miraglia House. The Joseph P. Whitton House was built in 1865 in the Georgian Revival Style. Mr. Whitton was the owner of a large woolen mill on Washington Street in Conshohocken. In 1938, the house was purchased by Paul R. Miraglia M.D. who was one of the founders of the Conshohocken Visiting Nurse Association and the Fellowship House. Alterations and additions were made in subsequent years for Dr. Miraglia's offices and growing family. The house was restored to its original period look in 1990, and shortly thereafter it was converted into offices. In 2011, the site was redeveloped for the construction of a branch office of Continental Bank. The ownership of the property remains in the Miraglia family.
