History
In 2010 the main building was renovated and re-opened as a 27-unit Independent Senior Residence.[4]
The vacant Carriage House was also renovated into a single family residence and sold to a private owner.[5] The surrounding property has been subdivided and developed into RiverWalk on the Delaware, a luxury townhouse community.[6]
It was the home of Swiss-born Theophilus Zurbrugg (1861–1912) and his family.[7] A watchmaker, he founded The Keystone Watch Case Co.[3]
