Description: Roger: This image shows a farmer plowing land behind a mule. On the back of the card in refers to the water tower. On the horizon appears a tall vertical shaft which may be a smokestack, suggesting the building could be a nursery. Herb is suggesting that we may be looking at a nursery that were prevalent on any large estate. There is the remains of a nursery at the Philander Knox Estate at Valley Forge Park. That was a fairly common feature on large homes where you would grow plants. Lucy Sampson calls this “a scene near Berwyn”, not necessarily in Berwyn. Herb: The only thing we are sure of is a lot of chickens and an elevated water tower, and you typically put a water tower on the highest piece of topography. That’s all the clues we have.
