Brick House Farm, which dates to the early 1700s, is one of Edgmont Township’s oldest homesteads. Established by the Yarnall family in 1702 on an original land grant from William Penn, the farmhouse was once a "public house," or tavern, where a Revolutionary War hero was captured by the British. The stately house is faced with local stone on one side and red brick on the other, and retains much of its early charm. The interior has many original features, including a large fireplace and fine woodwork.With its beams and wood trim, it’s obvious that the basement was once a tavern. As a thriving tavern, Brick House Farms was a main navigational landmark along what was formerly known as Edgmont Great Road. The property name itself was deceiving. In colonial times, travelers passing between West Chester and points west referred to the two-story tavern as Trick House Farms because its unusual brick-andstone combination creates a different appearance from either direction, which apparently confused, or ‘tricked,’ travelers who used the building as a reference point. In 1777, Persifor Frazer, an officer in George Washington’s Continental Army, was captured here by the British after the Battle of Brandywine. Frazer, who lived in nearby Thornbury Township, was scouting the British Army and staying at the Brick House Tavern when the British came and arrested him. Frazer’s brother escaped through a window. President Dwight D. Eisenhower visited the house in the 1950s, when U.S. District Judge C.William Kraft, Jr. owned it. This beautiful, and historic landmark will be the centerpiece of our new development.

Founded 12 years ago, Glenn M.White Builders carries on a 60-year family legacy of homebuilding begun by his grandfather and father. By taking a bit of the past and blending it into the present, Glenn M.White Builders has crafted Brick House Farm, a unique community of 35 estate homes just off Valley Road amidst 63 picturesque acres in historic Edgmont Township, Delaware County. The original Brick House Farm dates back to the early 1700’s and is one of Edgmont Township’s oldest homesteads. Each new home is situated on a minimum 3/4 acre home site within a land plan designed to allow for maximum privacy, yet preserve the historic flavor of the region. Maintaining the area’s scenic landscape is also an important consideration for Glenn M.White Builders. Consistent with Pennsylvania’s "Growing Greener" initiative, this development is designed to achieve maximum preservation of the land’s most valuable natural resources, such as mature woodlands, stream corridors, view sheds, existing historical homesteads, and natural vegetation. Glenn White teamed with the Natural Lands Trust Land Planners of Media, Pennsylvania - specialists in conservation land planning - to help him incorporate the goals of Grown Greener with his team’s vision for the luxury estate development. As a result, Brick House Farms incorporates 25 acres of beautifully preserved open space interspersed both around and within the development.Within the open space areas there is a tranquil pond, walking and jogging trails for the fitness enthusiasts, as well as a charming pavilion made from natural materials from the homestead.
