"Seeing Ury House, originally a fort built by early colonists in 1645 demolished in 1973, closing that period for us, caused a great desire within me to save every remnant and legend pertaining to early Fox Chase (Lower Dublin) history.

Through this research I decided to do pen and ink etchings of our historic sites..."

Ury House is demolished, making way for the Montclair quadplex apartment development with a string of private twin homes along the east, north and south periphery of the estate.
