The Henry Antes House is a historic house located on Colonial Road, in Upper Frederick Township Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It was designed and built by Henry Antes in 1736. It stands today as an example of Moravian settlement houses, in particular of a German three-room plan house. The house is unusual because so much of its original interior finish, including ceilings and board partition walls, have survived. Its builder, Henry Antes, while largely unknown now, was an important regional religious and political figure of the 18th century. In the American Revolutionary War, the house served as headquarters for General George Washington, September 23 to 26, 1777, during the Philadelphia Campaign.〔(General Orders, 23 September 1777 ) from the National Archives.〕 Henry's son, Colonel Philip Frederick Antes (1730–1801), was an officer in the 6th Philadelphia Militia.〔(Washington to Gen. John Lacey, 3 March 1778 ) from the National Archives.〕 The Antes House was declared a National Historic Landmark on April 27, 1992.〔〔 and 〕 It is now owned by the Goschenhoppen Historians, who restored the house and operate it as a museum, offering tours by appointment. ==See also== * List of Washington's Headquarters during the Revolutionary War 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Antes House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
