Cedar Grove Mansion, located in west Fairmount Park, was the summer residence for five generations of Philadelphia families.

Paschall was a widow with three children who had inherited her husband's dry goods business and desired a rural retreat from the city near her father's farm in Frankford.

A granddaughter named Sarah inherited the house, married Isaac Wistar Morris in 1795, and doubled the size of Cedar Grove with more rooms and a third floor.

[5][2] Lydia Thompson Morris, the last of the family to own Cedar Grove, gave the house and original furniture to the city of Philadelphia in 1926.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art administers the house and has kept it fully furnished with period furniture passed down by generations of the Morris family.
