I am a former resident of Chester County,I spent my teen years in Unionville,I'm already upset that Unionville is now part of Kennett Square,I hope someday to bring my husband to Pennsylvania to see where I spent some of my growing up,but I don't want to say well see that CVS that is where the old Inn was,and see that development that used to be a small farm with the best spring water. My High School already looks nothing like it did when I went there,I know change is inevitable but as has been said we really need to save our past as well. The stone that the Inn is made of is that wonderful Pennsylvania stone that can't be found anywhere else,what happens to that if they tear the building down?Scungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287510459310365276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-84053555119669886422016-01-28T15:39:52.808-05:002016-01-28T15:39:52.808-05:00My goodness!

I used to live in Lancashire in UK, and it reminds me of the old buildings there again, such as pubs and inns. Lancashire is in the north of UK, next to Cheshire and thence Chester - just a thought!

I have the good fortune to live in a heritage-designated neighbourhood with over 500 historic structures, one of which is my own house. Our small city was at one time the capital of Upper Canada, as well as the site of the British fortifications (now a UNESCO World Heritage site) and naval shipyards during the War of 1812. For photos, I hope you'll visit my own website, at chezlizzie.blogspot.ca to see some of the romance of an earlier time. Love your blog, and check in several times a week.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550076661380685327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-22034933892442384852016-01-28T12:53:34.388-05:002016-01-28T12:53:34.388-05:00Thank you for your support and discussion about sa...Thank you for your support and discussion about saving the Covered Wagon Inn!<br />For further background on the proposed land development plan which includes the demolition of the Covered Wagon Inn, please visit Community Matters, www.pattyebenson.org As president of Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust and someone who cares about our community's history, I left the Planning Commission meeting last week, knowing that I needed to do something to help save this landmark building.

If so, why would someone want to destroy a (rare) historical, architectural treasure?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
